Web Agent Processes Client Requests Twice

Valid on SunOne Web Server 6.1 with SiteMinder Web Agent r6.x QMR5 or higher

Symptom:

After upgrading the Web Agent on my SunOne 6.1 web server to SiteMinder r6.x QMR5 (or higher), the Web Agent exhibits one or more of the following behaviors:

• Client requests pass through the Web Agent twice. The first request uses HTTP 1.0 or 1.1, and the second request uses HTTP 0.9.
• The Web Agent unexpectedly sets valid request variables (rq->vars) in the request as HTTP headers.
• Custom headers now use the the NAME=Value format, instead of the HTTP_NAME=Value format used previously, and my application that uses headers in the latter format no longer works.

Solution:

Set the value of the DisableDirectoryList parameter to yes.
