Error description

• Uploading an application or an adapter to the Worklight Console
  through Multi-Protocol Gateway in DataPower may fail.
  
  On the server side, the following stack trace is emitted in the
  application server log:
  ServletWrappe E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper
  service SRVE0068E: An exception was thrown by one of the service
  methods of the servlet [ManagementServlet] in application
  [Worklight_Administration_Service_DP63]. Exception created :
  [java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
      at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1150)
      at
  org.apache.wink.common.internal.providers.multipart.MultiPartPar
  ser.parseHeaders(MultiPartParser.java:270)
  
  The problem is triggered by MPG adding double quotation marks to
  the MIME multipart message's boundary in the Content-type
  header.
  
  For example, this header
  multipart/form-data;
  boundary=---------------------------2925426766838
  becomes
  multipart/form-data;
  boundary="---------------------------2925426766838"
