Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of Websphere webserver plug-ins with   *
*                 HTTPS transport configured.                  *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the network connection was taken   *
*                      down after the plug-in had created      *
*                      socket connection to the appserver,     *
*                      the SSL-related initialization failed.  *
*                      But the appserver was not marked        *
*                      down in this case.  Therefore, no       *
*                      failover to other appservers happened.  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Plug-in failed to mark the server down, and prevented the
right failover from happening.
Problem conclusion
For the case as described, plug-in needs to mark the appserver
down, so that the right failover will be done.
