header
[Set-Cookie:JSESSIONID=0000Ist7f0_M6uMZiU5bjUHqL9q:-1;Path=/]

[10/14/04 11:18:50:543 MDT]  4436657 SRTServletRes d Commit

Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server applications    *
*                 that depend on an http head sequence in      *
*                 response.                                    *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HTTP header sequence was not retained   *
*                      if any header had been removed from a   *
*                      response. If an application depends     *
*                      on the sequence, it may faill           *
*                      sometimes.                              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Head sequence is changed when remove header has been called.
Problem conclusion
Reimplemented the remove header algorithm to retain original
sequence of setting/adding headers.
