APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a request is sent to a backend, the response triggers
  DataPower's backend timeout due to the response containing
  transfer encoding or other certain headers as part of the
  connection header.
  

Local fix

• A possible workaround is to use HTTP/1.0 on the backend.
  

Problem summary

• Affected is processing of HTTP responses with ?Connection?
  header.
  
  HTTP servers that put the transfer encoding or other certain
  headers in a Connection header might result in errors decoding
  the response data among other effects.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 5.0.0.14, 6.0.0.6 and 6.0.1.2.
