MD5 errors when Apache configuration file contains AddHandler imap-file map

Troubleshooting


Problem

In the IBM® Rational® Software Development Platform desktop products, the string ".map." in a filename can cause the Apache web server to perform a translation on the file contents before sending it to the client.

Symptom

This incorrect configuration will cause a message that looks similar to the following error message:

Downloading plugin com.ibm.etools.sfm.mft.uri.map.nl1_7.0.0.v200610130814.


Downloading http://server.name.com/ccb/Offerings/wdz70/20061013_1017/repository/ plugins/com.ibm.etools.sfm.mft.uri.map.nl1_7.0.0.v200610130814.jar to "D:\SDP70Shared\tmp\cicdip\v\md5\2aa842bc2558c018304a60446ddb2d3a".

Table of contents digests differs from digest of downloaded file.

Cause

As an example of the problem, in Apache 2.2, this can happen by adding the line:
AddHandler imap-file map

into an .htaccess file in a directory served. The default configuration for some Apache installations is for AddHandler to be applied generally.

Resolving The Problem


To resolve the problem, comment out the "AddHandler imap-file map" line in the configuration files that affect the repositories used by Installation Manager and Packaging Utility.
