tomcat 5.0 context redirect

[ying lcs <yi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I notice some strange feature in tomcat 5.0.

If i have a url like this http://localhost:8080/mytestapp?qa=1,
it will be redirected to http://localhost:8080/mytestapp/?qa=1,

in order words, "context" is automatically redirected to "context/".

Can you please tell me why tomcat 5.0 does it? i don' t notice the
same thing in tomcat 4.1?

And if there is a way to disable this feature? I think this redirect
is done via HTTP 302. And i would like to minimize http traffic.

thank you.

Hi,

you can mimimize http traffic by correctly linking to 
http://localhost:8080/mytestapp/?qa=1   (with the slash)

Please consider that "mytestapp" should be seen as a directory by the browser. 
And your first url is wrong (strictly speaking), so Tomcat tries to fix it by 
a redirect.
I see no reason to change the current behavior. Better fix your application.

Kind regards,

Reinhard
