Retry http POST sent without body

Hi, Using ribbon’s retry policy works perfect with GET requests. However, for http POST, after failing the first try for routing, the request is sent without the body.

After debugging the code, the second request (HttpRequest object in AbstractLoadBalancerAwareClient.executeWithLoadBalancer) has the same “entity” object (ServletInputStreamWrapper). Since this entity was read in the first try, its index now pointing to the end of stream, resulting in an empty body transferred to the inner microservice.

Is this a bug or improper use/configuration ?

my configuration:

ribbon:
  OkToRetryOnAllOperations: true
zuul:
    microservice:
      path: /microservice/**
      serviceId: microservice
      retryable: true

Hi guys, what workaround did you use? Could you please describe if you have time? Thanks.
