After more testing, it appears nul behaves in a special way (I have no idea why). /NUL.jsp appears to return a 200 with a content length of 0 (that's a blank page) /nul.jsp returns a 500 (Jasper trying to load a non existing class) In neither cases Tomcat did hang of did it kill one of the processing threads. All the other device names I tried (aux and AUX, COM1, LPT1, CON) returned a 404. Any ideas why nul is different ?
