Re: Apache getting confused by encoded jsessionid's (404 Not Foun d)

[Shay Mandel <sh...@mercury.co.il>]

Hi, Craig and all.
The links in Craig's reply do not work, and we struggle with this issue for
days now.
All other solutions found on the net refer to jserv users and not mode_jk
users.

I assume this is not the mainstream here, but just as FYI, we also run on
Solaris, while most of the discussions I found regarding the problem refer
to Win32 users.

We would highly appreciate some help here.

Thanks Craig,
Sorry about that Aleksey. Originally I thought you were hard coding the
sessionID's in the URL, thus my mistake.
