[PATCH] Catalina CGIServlet broken redirects

Hello,

The Catalina CGIServlet (as of tomcat 5.0.28) does not have a special case
for handling "Status" headers set by a cgi script.  When a script tries to
issue a redirect, tomcat returns inconsistent headers:

  HTTP/1.x 200 OK
  Status: 300 Moved

This behaviour breaks the redirect.  Attached is a patch which adds a
special case for Status headers to

  catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/servlets/CGIServlet.java

The patch was written against the tomcat 5.0.28 sources.

Cheers,

Patrick May
