IT27182: A HTTP REQUEST OF A MIME MESSAGE INSERTS EXTRA CRLF BETWEEN HEADER AND BODY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a MIME document is sent over HTTP, the Content-Type header
  appears in the HTTP header block rather than in the MIME message
  body. If the MIME document contains no additional headers to
  Content-Type, an extra CRLF pair is inserted between the HTTP
  header block and the MIME message body. This can cause a problem
  for some external web services.

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If a MIME document is sent over HTTP, the Content-Type header
  appears in the HTTP header block rather than in the MIME message
  body. If the MIME document contains no additional headers to
  Content-Type, an extra CRLF pair is inserted between the HTTP
  header block and the MIME message body. This can cause a problem
  for some external web services.
  

Problem conclusion

• The MIME writer now only inserts two CRLF character pairs after
  a header.
