I have a flow with an HTTPS inbound request/response that accepts a post with XML data (Port 8081). I do some processing with the data and then want to perform another HTTPS post via 443 to a different URL so that the data gets processed by an external process (PeopleSoft IB).
The problem is that when I try to post to the HTTPS:443 outbound what has come in from HTTPS:8081 inbound, I get the error shown below.
BUT, if I have the inbound connector set as HTTP and not HTTPS and comment out the https:connector name="httpsConnector" I have setup, everything works perfectly and I can post to the HTTPS/443 endpoint.
I've searched high and low and tried many different things to try to get around this error but all attempts so far have failed. I know it has something to do with the payload as MuleSoft is balking at it and never routes to the HTTPS endpoint. I confirmed this by changing the payload to plain text and it was sent successfully. It also is sent successfully as I noted above, when I come inbound as HTTP to 8081.
I am a MuleSoft neophyte so if this is a simple fix please excuse my ignorance.
