Support AT-TLS in Message Broker

While using AT-TLS encryption for simple outgoing and incoming https requests works fine with message broker as described in the following article: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/1003_suarez/1003_suarez.html and in the broker documentation for Version 8.0.0.4: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/bp22770_.htm

Unfortunately this will not work if you want to address a https server though a proxy. The CONNECT string being sent to the proxy must include the https URL. This can only be set by the TargetURL of the HTTPRequestNode. If this is a https URL the broker internal SSL implemetation will be taken. Thus AT-TLS does not work.

I propose the following solution:
Add a "Use AT-TLS" flag to the HTTPRequest Node, that will make the node behave like http no mattter what URL is given. This way the https URL is sent to the proxy and AT-TLS can be used.

    Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this request has been held in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. Unfortunately due to the very limited proportion of our users wanting to utilize both AT-TLS and also going through a proxy, it is highly unlikely we will prioritize this request from the business viewpoint, so on this occasion we won't be taking this suggestion any further forward.

    Thanks for raising this requirement, which I can see would be useful - particularly for our z/OS clients. We'll looking at adding this in a follow-on release.
