OSB 11g - send cookes during HTTP redirects

Question

Hi everybody,
I created the OSB business service BS1 to emulate HTTP POST request for the specific URL. The POST request to this URL returns:
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2010 07:01:21 GMT
Server: Apache
P3P: CP="NOI DSP COR CURa ADMa TA1a OUR BUS IND UNI COM NAV INT"
Set-Cookie: PAY2601224103933258050=PAYC7BBCCF4F4E67B7C729D9C1E93A8C236; Path=/; Secure

Connection: Keep-Alive

To follow HTTP redirects I set the checkbox "Follow HTTP redirects" on the HTTP Transport tab of BS1. The problem is that during redirects OSB's HTTP transport does not resend cookies that server sent to the OSB (PAY2601224103933258050 in my case). This leads to the errors in the redirected page.
The only workaround that I see is the following:
1 - Disable "Follow HTTP redirects" checkbox for BS1
2 - create Proxy service PS1 that will receive HTTP POST request
3 - invoke BS1 from PS1 using service callout
4 - analyze BS1 response metadata (http:Location and tran:user-header with "Set-Cookie" name)
5 - invoke the URL found in http:Location with cookies returned in "Set-Cookie" (by the way, how this can be done in OSB?)
Any ideas?

Have you checked if <HOST> (in Location:) matches the hostname in original request? I think cookies are related to hostname by default, so if the redirection goes for a different hostname, it is correct for OSB to omit the cookie.

You can use Routing Options for setting URL in runtime and Transport Headers for setting headers.
