Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server whose application redirects to a URL *
*                  that includes comma (",")                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server fails to   *
*                      redirect because the URL because it     *
*                      is truncated at comma (",")             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When the Application Server stores the redirect URL information
in a cookie temporarily, comma (",") needed to have percent
conversion for the cookie to avoid getting truncated.

Problem conclusion

Code is updated to add percent conversion for comma.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 6.1.0.33, and 7.0.0.11.  Please refer to the
