IT48855: THE PARSER IS NOT BEING RESET WITHIN THE RESTREQUEST NODE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using the RESTRequest node, the API call functions properly the
  first time with no headers found. On the second call, however,
  an authorization header is detected even though it is not
  actually present in the HTTPRequestHeader, resulting in a
  failure.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise V12.0 and V13.0 using
  the RESTRequest node with Authentication headers.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  AIX, WinX64, LinuxPPCLE64, LinuxX64, LinuxZ64
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When using the RESTRequest node, outbound API calls may
  intermittently fail with HTTP 401 Unauthorized errors due to
  inconsistent handling of the Authorization header caused by
  parser reuse.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product has been updated to correctly reset the field values
  of the HTTPRequestHeader parser before it is reused.
