Error description

• While the user could successfully route DataPower B2BGW

  service making use of the User-Agent Proxy Policy, the same
  pattern failed for as2:// URIs.

  chained MPGW service with HTTP FSH, which then handles the
  rewrite of the actual destination needed to be passed to the
  HTTP Forwarding Proxy.
