Error description

• When custom HTTP headers are parsed on DataPower, they might be
  combined with other HTTP headers depending on the format of the
  custom header. For example, a header with mismatched double
  quotes could cause this behavior.
  
  This malformed header would be viewable in the probe or in the
  variables used to access the incoming headers to the service.
  

Local fix
