Error description
When a client sends an "Expect: 100-Continue" header, IBM HTTP Server sends EBCDIC characters in the continue message. The HTTP protocol specifies that all such messages should be ASCII.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM HTTP Server on z/OS * * using clients that issue Expect headers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Protocol data not translated to ASCII * * before transmission * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this fix if custom clients are failing * * while expecting a "100 Continue" message * **************************************************************** The "100 Continue" status line is transmitted in a way unique among other protocol data, so it did not receive the implicit translation of all other protocol data.
Problem conclusion
The "100 Continue" message is translated from the host character set to ASCII. This fix is targetted for IHS fixpacks: 6.0.2.35 6.1.0.25 7.0.0.5
