DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45498] New: j_security_check redirects to
favicon.ico
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45498
Summary: j_security_check redirects to favicon.ico
Product: Tomcat 5
Version: 5.5.9
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Connector:HTTP
AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: jain@gmx.net
Since I started to deploy a web application at the root of a Tomcat instance
(running inside JBoss), the first login attempt after starting the browser
always results in a redirection to the site's favicon! The login itself is
successful (re-entering the site address loads the home page, logged in). I can
then log in and out (and access the site) without any trouble -- until I next
restart the browser. This happens regardless of what browser is used (I tried
Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7). Following are the headers of the
conversation:

I've attached a test application that allows this problem to be reproduced on a
fresh Tomcat 5.5.26 instance.

Your test case works correctly on a clean 5.5.26.
Again, you need to look at the full set of requests and responses to work out
why this doesn't work for you. Use the users list if you need help.

What browser did you use? I have confirmed the problem with default
installations of Firefox 2 and 3 (problem observed only after restarting the
browser) and with Internet Explorer 7 (problem observed only after clearing all
cached data). Opera 9.5 on the other hand seems fine (even after clearing all
cached data), not sure why. What appears to be happening is that the browser
sends a request for the favicon after loading the login page. When the login
form is submitted (from the root of the web server), Tomcat redirects to the
last request in the same path -- the favicon! Jetty (6.1.11) does not have this
problem (perhaps it remembers what request triggered the authentication form?)
so I'm assuming this is a fixable bug.

This works for me on a clean build of the latest 5.5.x source and there haven't
been any relevant changes that I am aware of in this area for quite some time.
Looking at the headers for the complete login process will probably be quite
informative. If you need help figuring out what is happening, please ask on the
users list.
