APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When using the IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) HTTP adapter with a GET request and there is zero content to send as part of that request, the 'Content-Type' header is unnecessarily sent, occasionally causing a security error if a checksum has been calculated.
Local fix
ITXCQ - ITX00062038 PB / PB Circumvention: None
Problem summary
Users Affected: IBM Transformation Extender users using HTTP adapter. Problem Description: The HTTP adapter sends an unnecessary RFC 9110 "Content-Type" header when there is no data content to transmit to the destination host. Platforms Affected: All
Problem conclusion
When there is no data content getting sent to an HTTP server, the ITX HTTP adapter no longer transmits the "Content-Type" header. Before this fix, a "Content-Type" header entry was always sent. Also, this fix removes the "X-Abandon-After" header from any non-HTTP Listener communication. Applies to: 10.1.1.1, 10.1.2.0 Fixed in the next service packs and releases. To obtain the fix for this APAR: To see if the next service pack or product release is available, check the IBM Transformation Extender Release Notes page: https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27008337 If the service pack or product release is available, download it from Fix Central: http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/ If the service pack or product release is not available and you require the APAR fix immediately, request a Limited Availability Interim Fix (LAIF) by opening a case: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/ Prior to version 9.0.0, IBM Transformation Extender was called IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender.
