Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server web        *
  *                  server plugin users                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Plugin does not tranfer non-chunked     *
  *                      data larger than 2GB in version 8.5.    *
  *                      Version 9.0 may log incorrect length.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When http requests or responses are transmitted with a fixed
  size (content-length header present), plugin does not transfer
  the data. Data is transferred as expected in version 9 but
  plugin tracing may report an incorrect size for the data.
  

Problem conclusion

• Backported the function from WAS90 to WAS855. Corrected print
  formatter so that correct size is reported when the data
  length is written in plugin's trace file.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.24 and 9.0.5.17. For more information, see 'Recommended
