  ****************************************************************
  The first request made to the Import service for CSV
  containing the binary data of the CSV file is made from the
  web client using an iframe. This is causing issues in
  Internet Explorer when the server is responding with an
  error response.
  
  In the case of an error response in an iframe, Internet
  Explorer tries to replace the contents of the iframe with a
  local resource causing a cross domain error.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in the Rational Requirements
  Composer 4.0.3 release.
