Problem with resonse.sendRedirect in WebSphere 5

For some reason, when we use the HTTP-plugin for WAS5, none of the calls to response.sendRedirect in our Web application work. The result is simply a DNS error which says that the server cannot be found. However, if we run the application directly in WAS5 on port 9578 without going through the HTTP-plugin, then response.sendRedirect works fine.

Does anyone else recognize this problem? We have to solve this soon, as one of our primary customers wants to upgrade to WAS5. Thanks!

I am presumming that you are using WebSphere 5.0.2 under OS390 or z/OS and HTTP Server 5.3. If my assumption is correct, there was a problem in the HTTP Server that was addressed when WAS 5.0.2 went past version 009. WAS 5.0.2 would generate two 502 response headers from this point on unless the HTTP server was patched. I don't have the details to hand at the moment and will repost 9/5/05 if you reply and are still having the same problem.
