Web Agent May Not Process @smheaders During Forms Based Authentication (40287, 40105)

Symptom:

The Web Agent may fail to process @smheaders during forms based authentication due to inconsistency of HTTP Header names used by different browsers and Web servers. This problem occurs when using a browser that uses HTTP Headers containing underscore or hyphens (i.e., USER_AGENT or USER-AGENT) and the Web Server uses the other. This affects all Web Agents on all platforms.

Solution:

This problem is fixed.
