APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Unable to resolve images (.png, etc) for an WAS Application when
  using  WAS Plugin via HTTP Server.  The result is .png files
  that are attempted to be displayed, and 0K in size.
  
  When ESI is enabled (this is default setting for plugin)
  the trace shows "ws_esi: readResponseBody, len_p=0" for the
  image.
  
  Circumvention is to disable ESI with
  "ESIEnable" Value="false" in the plugin-cfg.xml file.
  

Local fix

• Circumvention is to disable ESI with
  "ESIEnable" Value="false" in the plugin-cfg.xml file.
