Abstract
Techniques for HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method request translation are described. A router of a Content Distribution Network (CDN) receives an HTTP POST method request seeking to obtain a resource and sends the request to a request translation engine. The request translation engine, based on the request, generates a corresponding HTTP GET method request and sends it back to the router, which obtains a response object from an origin server or from one or more levels of cache implemented by the CDN. The response object is passed back via a response message to the router, which sends the response message back to the request translation engine. The request translation engine, in turn, sends the response message back to the router, which sends the response message back to the originating client.
