APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Where an HTTP request is made with an HTTP Header of
  "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" RIT will attempt to send this in a
  chunked format.  In RIT 8.7.0.0 no message is sent by such a
  Send Request and if there is an associated Receive Reply
  executed then it will print an error to the test lab console:
  org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException.
  

Local fix

• Where possible remove the "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" from the
  message action.
