APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
This APAR is making multiple changes to the IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache for DGW compatibility: 1) allow query strings in <!--#exec cgi--> 2) allow & to be used in SSI variable expansion
Local fix
For query strings, use the include virtual SSI method For SSI variable expansion, use $DOCUMENT_URI instead of &DOCUMENT_URI
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users migrating from the Domino Go * * webserver to IBM HTTP Server powered by * * Apache. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The variable expansion syntax in * * serverside includes is different in * * IHS. Query strings cannot be used in * * the exec tag. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this fix, or migrate SSIs to use IHS * * syntax (see circumvention). * **************************************************************** In serverside includes, the variable expansion syntax in DGW (e.g. "&VAR_NAME;") is unsupported in IHS. Additionally, attempting to pass a query string in the SSI exec tag(e.g. <!--#exec cgi="/index.html?query_string"-->) is also unsupported.
Problem conclusion
This fix allows DGW style variable expansion syntax only on z/OS and enables query strings in <!--#exec cgi--> on all platforms. This fix is targeted toward the following fixpacks: - 7.0.0.39 - 8.0.0.12 - 8.5.5.9 - 9.0.0.0-PI49954
