Mapping request to html
I have a HTML which I want to map similar to mapping a servlet to / (root)
in that the html file must get called not matter what the requested page
was. I want this to happen in apache without letting tomcat see the request.
Eg: www.mydomain.com/abcdef
I want abcdef to be extracted from the Url and made available to a cgi
script. I don't want to use a servlet to do this although I know it's easy
to do with a servlet.
Thanks for the help as I know it's slightly out of context...

Subject: TC4 and SendError behaviour [was RE: TC4 and Send Error]
The problem appears to be in
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.status()
This is run to respond to status messages but it calls
org.apache.catalina.connector.HttpResponseBase.reset(int status, String
message) which in turn calls HttpResponse.reset()
HttpResponseBase already resets the content or headers appropriately for the
API methods called.
status() does it again (in what I assume is a "let's be sure it was done"
kind of way) but according to the spec that isn't appropriate.
The spec doesn't specify that HttpResponse.sendError(int status) must clear
the headers only that it must clear the buffer and set any appropriate
headers.
The spec does specify that HttpResponse.sendError(int status, String
message) and HttpResponse.setStatus(int status) should return any headers
already set.
I believe the following would changes would restore spec compliance (at the
risk of breaking what else I don't know)
org.apache.catalina.connector.HttpResponseBase.reset(int status, String
message) method to call resetBuffer() rather than reset()
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.custom(req, res, errorpage) on
line 481 to call hres.resetBuffer() rather than hres.reset()
