Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Proxy            *
*                  Server V6.1 and V7.0                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Proxy Server could return a 301     *
*                      or 410 cached response as a 200. 302    *
*                      and 307 response codes are not getting  *
*                      cached.                                 *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The Proxy Server could serve a 301 or 410 HTTP response from
the proxy cache but with a 200 response code.   Also, the Proxy
Server was not caching some cache-able 302 or 307 responses.

Problem conclusion

The Proxy Server will correctly set the correct response code
for 301 and 410 cached responses.  The Proxy will also cache
302 and 307 responses that are cacheable.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.35 and 7.0.0.13.  Please refer to the
