APAR status Closed as program error. Error description On Websphere 4.0.1 with iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7, when user typ es a host name in CAPITALIZED from ( assuming the virtual host n ame is specified in lowercase), the user fails to get any respon se. The virtual host name is not case insensitive. This APAR fix es this problem and makes it case INSENSITIVE.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 4.0 users who * * are case insensitive in the requests made * * to the webserver. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The plugin was doing a case sensitive * * compare on incoming requests during * * request routing. Therefore, if the * * case didn't match the request would * * fail to get routed to the application * * server when it should have been. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The plugin was calling strcmp on the match for the hostname used in the request which is case sensitive. As a result, hostnames that should have matched successfully would fail.Problem conclusion The plugin now calls strcasecmp which is the case insensitive call so that request routing will work for hostnames that match regardless of the case.Temporary fix Comments
