Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users migrating SSI documents from DGW to * * IBM HTTP Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SSI documents being migrated from DGW * * to IBM HTTP Server (IHS) that contain * * '$' or HTML entities render * * differently. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
IBM HTTP Server mod_include was updated to allow SSI documents to be migrated from DGW to IHS. mod_include was also updated to not duplicate characters after instances of '&'. The SSIOption option DollarSignExpansion was added to disable the expansion of $-prefixed variables. The SSIOption option DefaultEchoEncoding was added in 9.0 to allow users to configure a global default for the encoding of echo commands. The DGW-style variable expansion parser for SSI documents was updated on z/OS to only do variable expansions if they exactly match the syntax ´&var;´. This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs: - 9.0.5.0 - 8.5.5.16
