408 Error - Workaround

[Brian Bonner <br...@paraware.com>]

I had been experiencing a 408 error in my apache logs when I was using 
the Apache Web Server (HTTPD) as a proxy in front of Tomcat 5.0.28, 
Tomcat 5.0.30 and Tomcat 5.5.9.  As it turns out I believe there is a 
problem with Tomcat and how it sets fhe path for cookies, specifically 
the JSESSION_ID.

This problem only occurs if you make the path of the apache proxy 
DIFFERENT from Tomcat.  If they're the same, it doesn't occur.  This too 
a while to track down.

I hope it helps someone in the future.  If it helps you out, please let 
me know :)

where I logged the bug.
