Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Any WebSphere Application Server customer    *
*                 who uses the POST HTTP access method.        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Request parameters are lost if the      *
*                      access method is POST and additional    *
*                      query string parameters are passed.     *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The method SRTServletRequest::setAdditionalQueryString was
replacing the request's original query string with the value
it was passed.  The string passed to this method was the
current query string with the new additional query string
appended.  The method would then clear the table that
contained all the parsed parameters.  This worked for GET
but not for POST since the original query string did not
contain the parameters read from the POST body.  Any
parameter passed via the POST body was lost.
Problem conclusion
Added WebSphere 3.5 code to WebSphere 4.0
Temporary fix
