When changing this incoming HTTP method... | To... | Note that... | ||
GET | POST |  The Content-Type of the changed request is sent as application/xml or application/json, and the charset is UTF-8.Depending on the structure of the native service, be aware that the native service might not be expecting the same payload structure that is being sent. In this case, you would need to transform the request message into the format required by the native service before Mediator sends the requests to the native service. For more information, see Sample XSLT Transformation for
GET-to-POST or GET-to-PUT. | ||
GET | PUT | Identical to GET-to-POST, except that Mediator changes the request's HTTP method from GET to PUT. | ||
GET | DELETE | No comment. | ||
POST | GET | Mediator will translate the POSTed request elements into query string parameters, in a root element.
(this is correct) <person> <lastName>Smith</lastName> </person> (this is incorrect) <person> <name> <last>Smith</last> </name> </person> If you want to send additional parameters as part of the request URL, you can transform this payload. To do this, you can use an XSLT file or a webMethods IS service call to add parameters before the request is sent to the native service.

GET or DELETE | POST or PUT | Note that the query parameters will be picked off the URL and stored as top-level elements when the message is sent to the native service. The query parameters are ignored on the endpoint URL and lost when we POST to the native provider (that is, don't change the protocol method). | ||
