Class HiddenHttpMethodFilter

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.filter.reactive.HiddenHttpMethodFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

WebFilter

public class HiddenHttpMethodFilter
extends Object
implements WebFilter

Reactive WebFilter that converts posted method parameters into HTTP methods, retrievable via HttpRequest.getMethod(). Since browsers currently only support GET and POST, a common technique is to use a normal POST with an additional hidden form field (_method) to pass the "real" HTTP method along. This filter reads that parameter and changes the HttpRequest.getMethod() return value using ServerWebExchange.mutate().

The name of the request parameter defaults to _method, but can be adapted via the methodParamName property.

Since:

5.0
