****************************************************************
The customer needed a plug-in that worked for the IBM HTTP
Server 2.0 with WebSphere for z/OS Version 4.0.1.  WebSphere
Distributed provides plug-ins for the Apache 2.x Server and
IBM HTTP Server 2.x.

The WebSphere plug-ins for Web Servers that are shipped as
part of WebSphere for z/OS need to be updated from the
fixpack 4 level to the latest distributed fixpack 7 level.
Problem conclusion
WebSphere for z/OS will ship new versions of the WebSphere
plug-ins for distributed Web Servers.  The plug-ins from
Distributed build ptf70339.05 will be used.  The existing
distributed plug-ins currently shipped by z/OS will be
replaced with the fixpack 7 versions, and new plug-ins
will be added for the Apache 2.x Web server and IBM HTTP
Server 2.x.  The Gskit install images provided for SSL
are also updated.

A new document, "WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version
4.0.1:  Web Server Plug-in Enhancements (PTF PQ7987)"
has been added as a Techdoc  under Product Information on
the product support page at URL: 
http://www.ibm.com/software
  /webservers/appserv/zos_os390/support/

This document lists all of the Web server plug-ins that can be
used with a supported workstation Web server to route requests
from your browser, through the Web server and plug-in, to one
of the WebSphere for z/OS J2EE server instances defined in the
ServerGroup element in the plugin-cfg.xml file. This document
should be used in conjunction with the Web server plug-in
information contained in "WebSphere Application
Server Version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390: Assembling J2EE
Applications", SA22-7836-06.

NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our
