Support for HTTP v0.9 and 1.0 Requests without HOST headers

SiteMinder Web Agents only accept HTTP version 1.1 requests, because HTTP versions 0.9 and 1.0 do not use HOST headers. This poses problems for some testing tools that do not send HOST headers, because the Web Agent rejects those requests.

SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 supports a new Agent Configuration parameter that lets you define a HOST header value. The Web Agent uses this value in any request that does not contain a HOST header.

Note: For more information, see the Web Agent Guide.
