Error description

• An HTTP message with custom headers is
  received:
  
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Type: text/xml
  Transfer-Encoding: chunked
  
  A business process (BP) is run upon receipt that includes an
  HTTP Response Service that has an assign statement for
  ""doc-has-headers" set to "true" so the same headers should be
  sent in the response.
  
  As a test, a headers.txt file was created that contains the
  above headers. The BP includes a Collect Header that has an
  assign to "filter" that points to the headers.txt file. A
  curl command is used to send those headers in a message to an
  HTTP server adpater configured with a specific URI set to
  trigger the BP.
  
  The format of the curl command is:
  curl --verbose --data-binary @headers.txt http://<IP address or
  URL>:<http server adapter port #>/<URI>
  
  If the header.txt file contains only the above four headers,
  then this works as expected, for example, the response
  contains those
  lines. If the content of the headers.txt file is modified to
  include a message body, but adds a blank line after the
  header, then a body on the following line, the headers in the
  response are instead:
  
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Date: Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:15:19 GMT
  Content-Type: text/xml
  Content-Length: 42
  
  The "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" is removed and
  "Content-Length" header is added instead.
