APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When SSL is enable, channel framework some times reads wrong
  header name instead of $WSSP. e.g.
  
  BNFHeadersImp 1   Adding header [33%22] with value [443]
  
  "33%22" suppose to be "$WSSP"
  
  Due to this, request failed with "WebGroup/Virtual Host to
  handle <URL> has not been defined" error message
  

Local fix

• NON

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The HTTP Channel parses a header name   *
  *                      incorrectly                             *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The HTTP Channel parses a header name incorrectly because it
  did not take into account the offset of the buffer when the
  entire buffer was already parsed
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified the HTTP Channel code to properly account for the
  offset of the buffer when the entire buffer was already parsed
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 7.0.0.25.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
