OSB http Header Problem

Question

Hello all,
(I hope I'm right here with my Oracle Service Bus problem)
I have a Oracle Service Bus Proxy Service, that calls a Business Service (not in my control).
That business service is somehow crap, cause it doesn't respond correctly (in sense of http protocol):
POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
User-Agent: Java1.6.0_05
Host: somehost.net:8080
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, */*; q=.2
Connection: Keep-Alive
0093
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<somePayload/>
0000
*<TheResponse/>*
<TheResponse/> is all i get from that service. No http header..
My Proxy service doesn't like responses with no HTTP/1.1 200 OK
and returns an error (although its a correct answer.. from the service)
Is there a posibility to avoid this error and get the plain response instead?
Thanx in advance
Pat

You're right, that service doesn't respond correctly as defined by HTTP. I don't think there is an out of the box feature in OSB you could use to overcome this.
However, you can possibly write your own transport implementation as described here:

There's also sample implementation that could be useful:
