getRequestedSessionId contradicts servlet spec

           Summary: getRequestedSessionId contradicts servlet spec
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: cbraun@novell.com


When calling getRequestedSessionId I expect null to be returned when a client 
does not specify a jsessionid via cookie or URL.  This is not the result with 
Tomcat 4.1.27.  The first visit to a site when no jsessionid is provided 
should cause this method to return null per the javadoc.  

The 2.3 javadoc is quite ambiguous but servlet 2.4 clarifies the expectation:

"Returns the session ID specified by the client. This may not be the same as
the ID of the current valid session for this request. If the client did not 
specify a session ID, this method returns null."
