IT31447: API CONNECT TEST TOOL MAY FAIL TO TEST API IF MULTIPLE API'S HAVE THE SAME PATH

Fix packs for DataPower Gateway version 2018.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When multiple API's match the same path the test tool may fail
  to route the request resulting in CORS errors observed from the
  test tool and being unable to test from the test tool.
  
  In such circumstances the API should still work when you invoke
  from another client (eg. CURL, POSTMAN, etc)
  
  The three criteria to trigger this issue are:
     1.More than one API candidates are matched for the incoming
  request.
  
     2.All these candidates are configured with security
  requirements.
  
     3.Using the test tool from the browser, which will trigger
  the OPTIONS HTTP request (the CORS preflight request) WITHOUT
  security related headers.
