Re: Need help with authentication
Any ideas why I only get redirected in firefox after doing a refresh and why
this is working as it should in internet explorer?
Re: Need help with authentication
Posted by Kenneth Westelinck <ke...@gmail.com>.
Hi again,
I did some further researching. I found this on the 304 returned by Tomcat
when using firefox:
-----8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<--
You should never see this error in your Web browser. It should simply
present the Web page from its cache - because it believes the page has not
changed since it was last cached. If your client is not a Web browser, then
it should equally be able to present the page from a cache. If unable to do
so, it is not using the If_Modified_Since or related headers correctly.
-----8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<--
When I disable caching in firefox, authentication works as it should and I
get redirected as I should. So who's the culprit here. Firefox or Tomcat?
Sorry, I'm a bit puzzled :(

Ok, here is some headers I found with "fiddler":

Get ieHttpHeaders and Live Http Headers and check out the differences,
if any, in what the browsers are seeing from / sending to Tomcat.
