Symptoms

Expressions such as form.submit(something) are not being rewritten by Portal Access. This may cause direct URL or unmangled paths in a request. Such requests fail, and the application could stop working.

Impact

Web applications might send unmangled requests and stop working.

Conditions

The form.submit() expressions not properly rewritten.

Workaround

An iRule workaround is possible, but it will be unique for each web application.

Fix Information

Calls of form.submit with arguments are now correctly handled by Portal Access.
