Thanks I agree with you . I'll try to use an Apache httpd front-end Anyway, I've seen that if I execute Map<String, String[]> parameter = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getParameterMap(); , then request.getInputStream is empty But if I execute Map<String, String[]> parameter = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getParameterMap(); chain.doFilter(request, response); , the next filter in the chain receives the body ( as I expect it ) I don't understand this behaviour Regards >> >> I've seen some posts where they open a HttpURLConnection to remote >> server and send the request.
