Hi, it used to be possible to submit a request to a sevlet using org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.web.AuthFilter as POST specifying user.name(simple authentication) as a form parameter.
For example, curl -X POST -d 'user.name=foo' 'http://....' after https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10193, this no longer works and user.name is only extracted in org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.server.PseudoAuthenticationHandler if it's part of the query string. Was this side effect intentional/desired? Is there some way to make user.name as post parameter work?
