Description

Author: @mdellweg (mdellweg)

Redmine Issue: 9125, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/9125


This prevents a client to take the result from a GET call, modify it and POST it again, if it does not even know about the header field.

Research direction

The issue concerns the headers field on Remote objects and its GET/POST round trip, but it names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the Remote object serialization and validation paths, then reproduce a GET followed by POST when headers is null. Done means the reported null value can be submitted back without rejection.
