PI07535: HTTP ERROR CODE 500 AFTER UPGRADING TO TS 51

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In CWXN task a LOCATE_URIMAP is called with Hostname
  <hostname> and path /<path name>/ this failed with an
  exception of NOT_FOUND which means the analyzer of
  DFHWBAAX has been called. DFHWBAAX is the default supplied
  analyzer program for TCPIPSERVICE(HTTP) and it sets up
  program DFHWBERX to execute.
  In CWBA task DFHWBERX is executed and this looks at the
  content-type of the incoming request to determine the type
  of response that is returned. Because the incoming request
  content-type is text/xml, it produces a SOAP fault that is
  returned with the HTTP error code 500 response.
  In WB domain, we also see there is a URIMAP defined with
  a host of * and a path of <path name>. Unfortunately,
  this does not match. The key here is the trailing slash on the
  path name in the request does not match the urimap that is
  defined without the slash.
  Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVEPH HTTP error
  code 500 LOCATE_URIMAP NOT_FOUND

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: URIMAPs fail to match an incoming URI   *
  *                      that ends in a /.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  CWXN processes the incoming URI to attempt to match it with a
  defined URIMAP.  If the URIMAP has been defined without an
  ending / then CWXN incorrectly fails to map the incoming URI
  to that URIMAP.  If the default TCPIPSERVICE URM is being used
  this will result in either a 404 or 500 error response being
  returned to the client.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWBUR has been changed so that an incoming URI ending in a
  / will match an installed URIMAP which does not include the
  trailing / character. URIMAPs which specify paths of the
  following formats will be treated as equivalent:
  
  /IBM/Example
  /IBM/Example/
