![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description WebSphere fails to handle post requests when the post data is s ent in time intervals greater than the connection timeout. WebSphere needs to handle this situation and return the correct status code.The plugin also needs to be modified slightly to lim it the possibility of sending this type of request to the applic ation server.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server installations * * that receive http requests of type POST. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere fails to handle post data * * if the body of the post data is not * * sent to the transport within the * * connection timeout period. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** WebSphere returns a http status code of 500 when the connection times out during the reading of POST data. Per the HTTP Specification, WebSphere should return an http status code of 408 to indicate a timeout versus an internal status error.Problem conclusion Modified WebSphere's transport code to return "HTTP/1.1 408 Connection timed out while reading request" when the connection times out before the request can be sent to the application server.Temporary fix Comments
