Product/Version: WebSphere Transcoding Publisher v3.5

This APAR Fix Package addresses the following Error Symptom(s):

--  In the scenario we are trying to handle,  epicRealm is running WTP as a prototype "service" .  epicRealm
invokes the service whenever they need to transcode original content.  (Here, content is an HTTP response message.)  They interact with the service via HTTP messages:  (1) pass the original content to
the service as the body of an HTTP POST message, then (2) receive the transcoded equivalent in the 
corresponding response.  The problem is then the URL that comes in to us as the request URL is WTP itself, 
not the original URL.  Any relative links we then make into absolute links are wrong.  So what the patch
does is support them setting a  new field in the request header, X-IBM-WTP-RQST-URL, whose value is the 
original URL. If we see this value in a servlet environment (not a proxy environment),  we will set our
 value of the URL to be this so that it will be used as the basis for resolving all relative links.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Be sure WTP 3.5.1 is installed, DO NOT apply this fix if running WTP 3.5
2) Be SURE to download the IC29863.jar file in BINARY format and place it into a temporary directory.
3) Within the temporary directory, unpack the JAR file by running JAR.exe like so:
 
 jar -xvf IC29863.jar

***Note this requires a JDK to be installed.  If WTP is installed on the machine then this should not be a problem.
   If your PATH environmnt variable doesn't contain the JDK's bin directory you will need to fully qualify the
   jar command (e.g. /usr/jdk_base/bin/jar for AIX).


IMPORTANT!  Carefully compare the dates of the files supplied with this APAR fix to
   the files being replaced.  If ANY of the files being replaced are more recent than
   the files shipped with this APAR, discontinue the installation of this fix and
   contact Customer Support for clarification.


3) For Windows, run instfix.bat as shown below:
 
 instfix c:\WTP  

   where c:\WTP is the install directory for WebSphere Transcoding Publisher.

4) For Aix, Linux and Solaris,  run instfix.sh as shown below:

 instfix.sh  /usr/lpp/wtp 

   where /usr/lpp/wtp is the install directory of WebSphere Transcoding Publisher.
