IT08293: HTTPASYNCREQUESTNODE SERIALIZES HEADER PARSERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When making a request to a remote web service using the
  HTTPAsyncRequest node the last child of the InputRoot tree is
  serialized as a bitstream to make up the body of the request.
  
  If the Input message tree does not have a body, for example if
  the message originated from a HTTPInput node using the GET HTTP
  method this results in the input HTTP header being serialised
  and used as the body of the HTTP request.
  
  This can lead to malformed HTTP messages and the remote server
  issuing a HTTP 400 "Bad Response" message.

  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

Problem conclusion

• The HTTPAsyncRequest node now only serializes the last child of
  the InputRoot message tree if that child is owned by a body
  parser.
