APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer is using WebSphere Business Component Composer's
method called writeHeaders. When using HTTP Transport Handler,
all the "\n"s in the method do not work. However, if the
customer changes each "\n" to "\r\n", HTTP Transport Handler
works with this changed writeHeaders method.
  HTTP Server code works well without making any change to the
"\n" within writeHeaders.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HTTP(S) requests can hang/timeout when  *
*                      being parsed out in the Control Region. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The HTTP(S) Transport does not successfully parse out requests
lines that do not properly end in a CR(carriage return) and a
LF(line feed). ie. "\r\n".
HTTP protocol states that each request/header line end in a
CRLF, but most HTTP servers do handle just a LF.
Problem conclusion
Parsing logic in the HTTP transport will be changed to handle
request/header lines that end in just a LF.
