Summary: 501 Method not implemented with successive POST
requests
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.0
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org

client wire/context log, client code, webapp code
An unexpected HTTP 501 occurs if using HttpComponents with successive POST
requests against a simple Tomcat 7 servlet (Form-based POST Authentication is
enabled). After a sucessfull authentication, the client requests the same
protected resource a few times in a row, but the second request always returns
a "501 Method not implemented" status. All other requests succeed.
The following communication takes place:
1. Client requests a protected resource; Tomcat returns the login page
(HTTP200)
2. Client provides the user credentials and calls the login resource; Tomcat
returns a redirect (HTTP302)
3. Client sets the location from the redirect for the next request(identical to
URI from #1) and requests it; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200)
4. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns a HTTP501 - Method
not implemented
5. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200)
6. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200)
7. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200)
The access log message regarding the 501 says:
'"testName=testValuePOST /test/secure/ HTTP/1.1" 501 1278', which may indicate
that the entity data and the HTTP-method name somehow got mixed up!? Strangely
the HTTP501 does not appear in case of a JSP for the requested resource, only
if facing a form-based POST authentication Servlet. The servlet does only
implement post and get(which calls the doPost) and returns just a string. The
client code should be fine since I already posted this issue on the
HTTPComponents mailing list and the data sent over the wire seems to be right.
I attached the source/bin of the testclient and webapp and also the
wire/context log of the client.
How can I provide further helpfull information?
