APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When IBM App Connect enterprise receives a query WSDL "?wsdl"
  HTTP request routed through a proxy server, the SOAP address
  contained in the response WSDL does not reflect the HTTP address
  of the proxy server. The result is that a dynamic WSDL client
  may be unable to access the Web Services hosted by IBM App
  Connect enterprise.

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When IBM App Connect enterprise receives a query WSDL "?wsdl"
  HTTP request routed through a proxy server, the SOAP address
  contained in the response WSDL does not reflect the HTTP address
  of the proxy server. The result is that a dynamic WSDL client
  may be unable to access the Web Services hosted by IBM App
  Connect enterprise.
  

Problem conclusion

• If the incoming HTTP request has any of the following headers
  then the value of those headers will get used in determining the
  SOAP address contained in the response WSDL returned for a query
  WSDL "?wsdl" HTTP request.
  
  X-Forwarded-Host
  X-Forwarded-Proto
  X-Forwarded-Port
  
  The product also provides an environment variable that can be
  used to specify the HTTP server address to be set in the SOAP
  address contained in the response WSDL returned for a query WSDL
  "?wsdl" HTTP request.
  
  The environment variable is named
  "MQSI_HTTP_PROXY_HOST_ADDRESS". The value for the environment
  variable may optionally include the HTTP protocol and HTTP port,
  for example:
  set MQSI_HTTP_PROXY_HOST_ADDRESS=proxyhost
  or
  set MQSI_HTTP_PROXY_HOST_ADDRESS=http://proxyhost:8080
