****************************************************************
The plugin was corrupting the header buffer causing invalid
headers to be passed to the Application Server.  As a result
the Application Server would return Error 400 Bad Request.
Problem conclusion
The plugin was expecting the buffer to be NULL terminated when
it parsed the headers in the Domino plugin.  The buffer it was
using was NOT NULL terminated.  As a result the parsing would
continue into buffer regions that contained unknown content.
