It seems that Tomcat 3.2.3 has a bug (a regression) that hits my book's
Example 5-5. See:
http://www.servlets.com/jservlet2/examples/ch05/index.html#ex05_05
The bug is that for the following URL:
http://www.servlets.com/jservlet2/examples/ch05/goto/http://www.servlets.com
the goto servlet should have extra path info of
"http://www.servlets.com" and in fact does with Tomcat 3.2.1 but with
3.2.3 it now returns "/www.servlets.com". My guess is the server may be
trying to do a windows to unix filename conversion? It could also be a
side effect of decoding, although there are no special chars there to be
decoded.
Is this a known issue? I didn't find anything with a quick list scan.
