Web service connection closes as soon as HTTP request is sent

When an application attempts to send a web service request to the Gateway daemon, the connection to the Gateway daemon is dropped if an incorrect port is used.

Symptom

The HTTP or HTTPS connection between the web service client application and the Gateway daemon is closed as soon as a web service request is sent. If connection logging is enabled, the following message is written to the Gateway daemon error log:

CTG6507I Client disconnected: <connection details>, 
	reason = CTG6656E Incorrect data <data> received on the network connection 
	between the Gateway daemon and client application

Probable cause

The web service client application attempted to send a web service request to the Gateway daemon TCP, SSL or statistics API port, instead of the HTTP or HTTPS port.

Action

Correct the web service client application to send web service requests to the Gateway daemon HTTP or HTTPS port.
