Error description
CICS as a HTTP/1.1 client receives 200 OK. It receives only the HTTP header but not the message body. The HTTP header does not contain a Content-Length but a Connection: close CICS should retrieve the message body when it is terminated by closing the connection instead of by supplying a Content-Length header.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS fails to receive an HTTP1.1 * * response body when the Content- * * Length header is absent. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** DFHWBCL receives an HTTP1.1 response with a Connection Close header which includes a response body but no Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header. The absence of these headers causes CICS to assume that there is no response body.
Problem conclusion
DFHWBCL has been altered to check for a response body, if an HTTP1.1 response does not contain a Content-Length header but the Connection header is set to 'Close'.
