Error description
Rational HostOnDemand ------------------------------------------------------------- When session is configured to connect to the host via a HTTP Proxy, it is not able to complete the connection in some cases. This is when the HOD session configuration, Proxy Type is set to HTTP Proxy setting, the session does not connect, in the case of proxy servers that send single line message containing return-code 200.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users connecting to session via HTTP proxy * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the HOD session is configured to * * connect to the host via an HTTP Proxy, * * it might not be able to complete the * * connection. When the HOD session has * * configured the Proxy Type and set the * * HTTP Proxy setting, the session does * * not connect in the case of proxy * * servers that send single line messages * * containing return-code 200. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The HOD Session, when configured to use the HTTP proxy server, needs to establish a connection with the HTTP Proxy in order to interact with the host. However, when the HTTP Proxy server sends a "CONNECTION ESTABLISHED" message to the HOD session, the session responds with FIN signals and thus, the connection is broken and session does not connect. This can happen if the proxy server returns a single line response of "CONNECTION ESTABLISHED" message with no extra headers attached. HOD was parsing the message wrong and therefore, disconnecting the connection.
Problem conclusion
HOD parsing logic had to be fixed in order to accept single-line responses. The logic has been fixed to handle this scenario. Fix is scheduled to be available in HOD 10.0.9 Refresh pack Fix is scheduled to be available in HOD 11.0.4 Refresh pack
Temporary fix
