DataPreservationFilter
The DataPreservationFilter triggers POST data preservation when an unauthenticated client posts HTML form data to a protected resource.
When an authentication redirect is triggered, the filter stores the data in the HTTP session, and redirects the client for authentication. After authentication, the filter generates an empty self-submitting form POST to emulate the original POST. It then replays the stored data into the request before passing it along the chain.
The data can be any POST content, such as HTML form data or a file upload.
For more information, refer to POST data preservation.
