           Summary: Helpful if option for Host aliases to send redirect
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.29
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sam@redspr.com


It would be helpful to have an option for the Host valve
that would send a permanent redirect when a request matches a host
alias.

This is useful to help search engines etc that apache.org would redirect
to www.apache.org so making it clear that they are the same entity.

Since this seems like a common requirement and the alias is already defined
in server.xml so tidy to implement it in the container.

NB Seems pretty safe for GETs to redirect using the original path and query
string. Im not sure about POSTs might be more problematic.
