  SSL0405E (GSK_INVALID_STATE) generally occurs when IHS is
  trying to gracefully close a client connection.  Before the
  socket can be fully closed, any additional data the client
  might send is read and discarded by IHS.
  Sometimes, reading data from an SSL connection triggers a write
  from the security library, but this can fail with
  GSK_INVALID_STATE because we have already told the socket we
  have already "shutdown the socket for writing".
  If IHS knows that the connection has already been shutdown for
  wrtiting and recieves an GSK_INVALID_STATE during a read, the
  message should be logged at lower severity.
  

Problem conclusion

• After the fix, IHS treats this condition as a debug-level event
  only.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in IBM HTTP
  Server fix packs 9.0.5.9. For more information, see 'Recommended
