http 1.1 request line with full url

[Stefan Haustein <ha...@ls8.cs.uni-dortmund.de>]

Hi,

does anybody know how to convince 
Tomcat to process "true" HTTP 1.1 requests 
having the full URL in the request line, e.g.:

  POST http://www.foo.org/bar HTTP/1.1

If I try this, I get a 409 error.


  POST /bar HTTP/1.1

works fine, but I have a client that
sends the full URL, and HTTP 1.1 says
the server MUST be able to process
this... :-(

Best,
Stefan

Stefan,

Which version of Tomcat are you working with?  Tomcat 3.x does not
support HTTP/1.1 in stand-alone mode, and therefore is not required to
handle absolute URIs.  (I haven't tried it, but this should work for
Tomcat 3.x behind Apache).

For Tomcat 4.0-m4, I get a "404" error when I try this, which is
definitely a bug (because the absolute URI form is not being parsed).
Could you do me a favor and log a bug in our Bug Tracking System so that
we'll add this to the list of things to get fixed?  Sometimes bug
reports in the mailing lists get lost in the confusion.  You can report
this bug at:
