Hello all,
 
We have build our own proxy, which is casified. Some Flex applications are 
using this proxy to get acces to some backend SOAP-services. This became a bit 
of a large post, but we rather are puzzled by which direction we should proceed.
 
The Flex-applications are sending http POST-requests to the proxy. What we see 
in the log of the proxy, after some time, is that it recieves GET requests with 
a ticket attached to the url. Our understanding is that:
 
- the CAS-filters of the proxy recieve the POST-request, but had a session 
timeout, so any request is redirected to the CAS-server.
 
- Somehow the CAS-server did not have a session-timeout, so the request is 
redirected to the proxy, but now with a ticket attached. The request is by the 
CAS-server changed into a http GET-request.
 
- our proxy sends the request to the backend SOAP-service and recieves an error 
since the request is now a http GET-request.
 
 
About this all we have a lot of questions, being the first if our understanding 
is indeed correct. Is this the 'expected behaviour'?
 
Next, we need to figure out what we can do about this.
1. Is there a way for the Flex application to know there has been a 
session-timeout? For example: should they recieve a HTTP 302 error or 
something? If so, our Flex-application are automatically resending the request, 
since we did not program anything to resend a request. Anyone out there who can 
tell my college how to recognise such a response in Flex?
 
2. Is there a way to configure CAS so that is redirects an http POST request as 
a POST-request instead of a GET-request?
 
3. Is there anything we are missing? Maybe a suggestion for a different 
approach? Please keep in mind that our SOAP back-end services themselves are 
*not* casified, only the proxy.
 
Any help is much appreciated, regards,
 
Richard
