Access to http request in plugin

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello

I am writing a security plugin and in the body of the incoming HTTP request
is user information provided by SiteMinder

I know i can access the raw bytes of the request body using the (
request.content().array() call from the RestRequest object

but my question is..is there a simpler way to get access to the request
parameters...

In other words... is there a "java like" way similar to
HTTPRequest.getParameter("SM_USER");

thanks !!!!!

Hey,

RestRequest.params() or RestRequest.param("yourParam") might help you

Hey,

well, the problem ist, that a web application actually knows that the body
consists of parameters by checking HTTP headers. This does not work with
elasticsearch (there might actually be JSON in it, as it is in most cases).

Anyway, if you writing your own plugin, you could just call
RestUtils.decodeQueryString(String s, int fromIndex, Map<String, String>
params)
in your own code and hand over the request body to the method.
