migration from 4.x to 5.x and auto redirect

["Trafny Grzegorz (Centrala PZUSA)" <gT...@PZU.PL>]

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate application (let's call it App1) from Tomcat 4.x
to Tomcat 5.x (tested 5.0.28 and 5.5.23) and ... have had a problem.

Question: How to force Tomcat 5 to stop auto-redirecting context
some_server/App1/ if I request connection on some_server/App1 (lack of
last '/').


When client requests
  GET http://some_ip:some_port/App1
then, depending on Tomcat version, I receive response:
a. on Tomcat 4.x
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
b. on Tomcat 5.0.x, 5.5.x
  HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
  Location	http://some_ip:some_port/App1/


Context: above request is sent by commons-httpclient library and it has
"follow redirect" set to "false". I can't change these setting becouse
httpclient is actually wrapped by slide-webdavlib. More over - I don't
want to change client side becouse it's (if I can avoid it) used in many
others application.

So best way for my is force Tomcat 5 to behave in compilant way with 4.

Thank you for help

Greetings
