Tomcat 5.5.16: strange redirecting

Hi,

I used a fresh install of Tomcat 5.5.16 on the Windows platform to confirm what 
I was seeing:

a request to
http://localhost/manager
results in a redirect to
http://localhost/manager/?


The same thing happens with (one of) my servlets when it receives no parameters:
http://idp.example.be/shibboleth-idp/SSO
becomes
http://idp.example.be/shibboleth-idp/SSO/?
(which contains a filter that redirects with its own URL as a parameter -which 
is wrong now because of the /? -)

It is certainly new from Tomcat v5.5.12, probably first emerged in 5.5.16. Does 
anyone have a clue what causes it or how to fix it?


Thank you very much for your ideas.

Just tested v5.5.17 (which seems to be released just now):
The bug is fixed :).

yes :(
(I didn't find that bug by my search criteria...)

I see it will be fixed in 5.5.17 :)


Thanks!

Might it be due to this bug?

The CAS SSO mechanism is broken by this. There's a one-line fix in the 
cas client code to work round it, but it looks like downgrading or 
upgrading is probably the best answer.
