APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the HTTP Proxy is used with messages that do not return a
  reason phrase, an incorrect HTTP status is returned.
  
  For example, if the destination server returns this:
  
  HTTP/1.1 599 \r\n
  
  The Proxy is incorrectly changing this to be:
  
  HTTP/1.1 0 null\r\n
  

Local fix

• Modify the application to return a reason phrase such as:
  
  HTTP/1.1 599 Not Good\r\n
