invalid https url generates NullPointerException

[Steve A Drake <sa...@comet.ucar.edu>]

 Hello. I just downloaded and installed Tomcat 4.0.2 and jsse1.0.2 on my
RH 7.2 box. I configured SSL under Tomcat so that the test URLs:
http://localhost:8080/ and https://localhost:8443/ work fine.

 The problem that I am having is that, if I accidentally enter:
https://localhost:8080/ Tomcat bogs down and throws the following
NullPointerException in catalina.out. I know that this address is invalid
but I'm surprised to see this behavior. Did I miss some configuration detail?
TIA for your advice.

java.lang.NullPointerException
