Hello all

In server side V8 scripting (while creating a api service with custom scripting), when using http verb tunnelling,

`POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/system/user`  
ie  
`url = 'http://localhost:8080/api/v2/system/user' result = platform.api.post(url, JSON.stringify(payload), options);`

with following headers:  
`Content-Type: application/json X-DreamFactory-Api-Key: 4653....7c1690f47d X-DreamFactory-Session-Token: eyNTE4LCJuY....mYiOjE0ODQ0NTA5MT X-HTTP-Method: GET`

**is working** but  
`POST system/user`  
ie  
`url = 'system/user' result = platform.api.post(url, JSON.stringify(payload), options);`

with same headers **is NOT working**.

It seems for tunneling, external url is to be specified. Why it is not working with internal url?  
Is this a feature or a bug?

Thanks

As per [this](https://community.dreamfactory.com/t/how-to-change-http-header-on-server-side-platform-api-get-method/1200/5) post, it seems it is a known issue/feature. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks
