The release notes omitted the following instructions to
download the plugin_commom.dll.

For Windows NT and Windows 2000, you must also copy the
plugin_commom.dll file to the machine where IBM HTTP Server
Version 2.0 is installed.  It is suggested that you put the
plugin_commom.dll into the same directories where the IBM HTTP
Server modules are located.  Here is the suggested path to the
WebSphere Application Server plugin_commom.dll file:

Windows NT and Windows 2000: C:\Program Files\IBM HTTP Server
2.0\modules
