here is a scenario hardware stack
LoadBalancer(port80) - Apache/mod_jk 2.0.43(port81) - Tomcat 4.1.12(port8080/8009) 1. The load balancer receives a request for http://server/somecontext/ 2. The load balancer forwards this to apache. Apache detects /somecontext/ and makes a request to Tomcat 3. Tomcat gets the request GET /somecontext/ and looks up welcome files 4. Tomcat finds index.jsp as a welcome file 5. Tomcat constructs a redirect using the absolute URL it got from Apache and here is the problem, in step 5 tomcat constructs an absolute URL, and uses the port number from Apache which was 81. hence the redirect will go to port 81. the response back to the server is Location:http://server:81/somecontext/index.jsp --which is wrong, the request came in on port 80 when it would have been better if the response was the relative URL. Is this a bug, or could we add a feature to be able to configure the Coyote connector to generate absolute or relative urls on sendRedirect Filip ~ Namaste - I bow to the divine in you ~ Filip Hanik Software Architect www.filip.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
