APAR status

Error description
customer want to customize the error page for ERROR 500
but IIS plugin does not reply ERROR 500 to client.
   Cust. is trying to call the snoop servlet when the
   default_server is stopped.
   they are getting browser error "server not Found or DNS Error
 .
   But if they are using the IHS instead of IIS they are getting
   "500 error" in the Browser.
 .
Local fix Problem summary
All WAS customers using IIS Webserver
Customer attempts to access Snoop Servlet (or any servlet
handled by
WAS) before the appserver is started. Customer expects to
receive an
Error 500 page but instead receives DNS error.

With other webservers (IHS, Domino, NS) if you do not send
back a
formal response a default page will be displayed based on
the response
return code.  IIS requires that plugins and extensions
return a
response is received by the IIS webserver a DNS error page
is
displayed.
Problem conclusion
To fix this problem the plugin was modified to send back a
formal 500
error response.
