But, WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and OS/390 will only match lower case requests with virtual hostnames that are defined in the webcontainer.conf file, even if mixed case is used to specify the virtual hostname in the webcontainer.conf file. Requests made in mixed case or upper case will receive a 404 NOT FOUND error message.Problem conclusion Virtual host matching should be case insensitive. The existing code does not convert to lower case. Changed the code in WS390Router.java so that it changes the URI to lowercase prior to searching for a match. APAR PQ68397 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401408 of WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.Temporary fix Comments
