Description
When trying to connect using Odata connector, the error below appears and a connection cannot be made:
External error:The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
In Odata server log the following error can be seen:
Multipart parsing error: Multipart: Boundary not found in C-T"
A cause behind these two errors can be that there is a reverse proxy used, which is blocking the "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" header sent in a GET request by the TIBCO Spotfire Odata connector.
