form-data

I'm writing tests to verify that I can do a generic form post to our API. I've also added quite some debugging, but I noticed that the data posted by an actual form; (Postman / AngularJS or w/e) Differs from doing a mockMVC test like: MvcResult response = mockMvc .perform(post("/some/super/secret/url") // .param("someparam1", "somevalue") // .param("someparam2", "somevalue") // .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED) // .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)) // .andExpect(status().isOk()) // .andReturn(); The config is exactly the same as the config running in production, and such.

I couldn't find any connection when it is cleared and when not. Some answers i found on the internet / stackoverflow: on https connections, forms are always cleared when using dynamic websites with sessions, forms are always cleared But both of them are definatly wrong. I have
