http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3939 HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED incorrectly trapped by Tomcat Summary: HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED incorrectly trapped by Tomcat Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My application managed security sends a HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED error to trigger the browser to ask for details from the user. However, Tomcat traps this error and redirects to an error page instead of passing the HTTP 401 error on to the browser. I cannot find a workaround, hence my application is unusable. Broken in Mozilla and IE, strangely works in Netscape 4.7x
