[Dim Question] Redirecting GET http://blah.com/ resource -> GET /resource - Tomcat 4

[CAM <ca...@yahoo.com>]

Hello all,

I'm sure I'm missing something very basic here but I can't think what. I'm using 
a little proxy (HttpSniffer) to debug header and cookie info between my browser 
and a remote Tomcat 4-b6. I'm getting failures to requests (404's) when I go 
thru the proxy and I can see in my access logs that this is because the requests 
are arriving as:

192.x.x.x - - [28/Feb/2002:17:30:49 00] "GET 
http://my.host.com:8080/dms/servlet/dms HTTP/1.0" 404 263

instead of:

192.x.x.x - - [28/Feb/2002:17:24:16 00] "GET /dms/servlet/dms HTTP/1.1" 200 2294

Rather than rewrite httpsniffer, I suspect I need some form of redirect - 
besides, the sniffer works with other sites (e.g. Google). I haven't managed to 
dig out anything about redirection from the docs - there are a lot of facets to 
the information. Is redirection associated with the Engine? The connector?

So, an RTFM is probably deserved but a clue as to where would be tremendous.

I hate to repost but I can't get anywhere with this - the Proxy-Support Howto 
and the high level entity docs don't seem to be relevant (on an associated 
point, does anyone know of a searchable set of the tomcat docs?).

Am I trying to rewrite this URL in the wrong place - I mean should these 
requests be getting reformatted before they even arrive at Tomcat? I'm not sure 
if it will support this form of request.

I am currently attempting to decode RFC 2068 to see if these are legal requests 
but, as I say, other servers seem happy with them...

Any clues *very* gratefully accepted...

TIA
