Only the POST request uploading a file is failing with 403 Forbidden error

Question

I have been using Apache 5.5 version to run a script that has an upload request(POST).

The script passes when executed in local machine with all the tokens supplied.

The same script when executed in Apache 5.6 version locally, the upload request alone fails with 403 forbidden error.

Problem:

We are getting the same forbidden error when this script is uploaded to azure load test and executed there.

The version used to create the script is Jmeter 5.6.3

I have no idea why its running successfully in version 5.5 but failing in 5.6.3 and azure load test.

Do let me know how to over come this issue and make the script to run successfully in Azure load test

Answer 1

Are you sure all configuration and dependencies are same?

For example Mod_security, ensure that Mod_security is not blocking your request. You can try disabling Mod_security temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
