IT03182: SOAPREQUEST NODE CREATES INVALID HTTP REQUESTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the WebService URL is overridden in the LocalEnvironment with
  a value containing Carriage Return, Linefeed or Newline
  characters then the SOAPRequest Node can generate an invalid
  HTTP Request.
  
  This may cause servers to interpret the request as an HTTP 0.9
  request and send back a response with no HTTP Status line or
  HTTP headers. If this happens the SOAPRequest will timeout with
  an error like:

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V9.0 using any of the
  HTTPRequest, HTTPAsyncRequest, SOAPRequest or SOAPAsyncRequest
  Nodes.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When making a request to a remote webservice the Broker does not
  escape newline characters in the path section of the URI. In the
  case that the remote webservice is a Tomcat container, or the
  Broker's embedded listener the resulting malformed request can
  be interpreted as an HTTP 0.9 request. Since the remote server
  will not be able to determine the message length this is most
  likely to result in the webservice request timing out.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

  tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
  

Problem conclusion

• The product now escapes carriage return and newline characters
  in webservice request URI's replacing them with "%0D" and "%0A"
  respectively.
