IT24076: URL-OPEN MAY PROCESS BACKEND ERRORS DIFFERENTLY WHEN FOLLOWING A REDIRECT

Fix packs for DataPower Gateway version 7.7

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When using a url-open which is attempting to process backend
  errors, the url-open may not process backend errors if it is
  first redirected.
  
  For example, when using the urlopen module in GatewayScript and
  the backend responds with a HTTP 400 status code, this will not
  be considered an error from the callback. However, if the backed
  returns a redirect such as a HTTP 302 status code and the
  redirect location returns a HTTP 400 status code this will be
  considered an error in the callback.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When using a url-open which is attempting to process backend
  errors, the url-open may not process backend errors if it is
  first redirected. This causes the url-open to behave differently
   for error handling in the case where redirection occurs when
  compared to the case where no redirection occurs making correct
  error handling difficult.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 7.7.0.0.
