CMVC Defect:  PQ71167

Byte size of APAR:  

Date: 2003-04-07

Abstract:  Response header greater than 8k fails

Description/symptom of problem:  
Redirect requests with Location URL greater than 8k fail. 
The plugin would fail on writing responses which contain a header 
greater than the default buffer size of 8k.  Reading of the first 
8k of data would succeed however the next read would contain the 
remains of the header value.  Since the string was not in the 
Header: Value format an INVALID_FORMAT error is returned.
