  This problem can show different symptoms based on the
  application context. If the failure is related to
  HttpURLConnection property, check whether more than one value is
  added in the property field.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is caused because the
  HttpURLConnection.setRequestProperty API appended the new value
  to the existing value of the property rather than overwriting
  the existing value with the new value
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  6.0.0 SR10 FP1
  6.0.1 SR2
  .
  The JDK has been updated to modify the setRequestProperty API in
  HttpURLConnection class to overwrite the value of property
  instead of adding/appending the value.
