Progress of sorts! The request is now returning 302 instead of 404!
Looking in the log files for the backend, it has a message that says “Robot
requests must be rejected” and the 302 response is due to a redirect to a
permission denied page.
My understanding was the .forward() method didn’t change anything on route in
either direction.
Using JD-GUI I have looked at the class that is generates the above
error message and it appears as the result of a check on the
“user-agent” setting. I am now puzzled as what is being received by the
backend servlet is the same as if it is called directly without me
intercepting it.
The class I looked at contains a definition of a valid non-robot
user-agent string. Is it possible to modify the request to use this
before forwarding it? If not, am I better creating a new request for
the backend and copy HTTP header and body content around as needed?
