IT36582: HTTPINPUT HEADER FIELDS ARE MALFORMED WHEN USING INTEGRATION NODE LISTENER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• While using the integration node listener, it's seen that the
  HTTPInput header field values are not parsed correctly when the
  values have a colon in them. For example, a SOAPAction header
  with value http://Service_Tester/operation1 when it comes
  through integration node listener, is parsed incorrectly as
  below:
  (0x03000000:NameValue):SOAPAction: http =
  '//Service_Tester/operation1'
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All Users of IBM App Connect Enterprise V11.0 using integration
  node listener.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  While using the integration node listener, it is seen that the
  HTTPInput header field values are not parsed correctly when the
  values have a colon character(':') in them. For example, a
  SOAPAction header with value http://Service_Tester/operation1 is
  parsed incorrectly by the integration node listener and creates
  HTTPInputHeader with a wrong name-value pair as below:
  
  (0x03000000:NameValue):SOAPAction: http =
  '//Service_Tester/operation1'
  

Problem conclusion

• Integration node no longer fails to parse HTTP header values
  when the value contains colon character in them.
