Enable Legacy Variables for HTTP Headers

You can specify which naming convention the Web Agent uses for HTTP headers with the following parameter:

LegacyVariables

Specifies if the Web Agent uses underscores in HTTP header names. With some web servers (such as the Sun Java System), using the underscore character in the HTTP headers causes problems with some applications.

When this parameter is set to no, the HTTP headers will not have underscores, as shown in the following example:

SMHeaderName

When this parameter is set to yes, the HTTP headers will use underscores, as shown in the following example:

SM_HeaderName

Default: (traditional agents) Yes

Default: (framework agents) No

To enable legacy variables and have the Web Agent use underscores in the HTTP header names, set value of the LegacyVariables parameter to yes.
