POST request gets challenged by Cloudflare.

Vote:
 

The POST request of the site gets challenged by cloudflare and returns an unathorized response. 

https://challenges.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/

The payload contains two base64 images and text content. When the content does not have links, it seems to get through, but when it has multiple lines and a link, then it gets blocked. 

Anyone else faced a similar issue ?

Cloudflare legitimately challenges suspicious activity on a site and bases this on a number of factors:

Would be worth capturing the request and speaking to Optimizely support to see if they can identify the cause.

I have seen cloudflare timeout issues before with a large payload, nothing that has returned unauthorized though.

It should be possible to ask Optimizely to let certain endpoints through.

A common thingie for commerce sites that use Klarna for payments is to open up the the callback url that is made to the site, since the post [from Klarna] contains script/markup code that Cloudflare otherwise find suspicious.

We've also had similar experiences with inriver, where sometimes product data posted to Optimizely would be challenged by Cloudflare.
