I'd like to suggest that catalina perform a forward, rather than a redirect, for requests that end with '/'. With a redirect, special configuration is necessary for proxy servers to work correctly. Also, a forward doesn't require an additional round trip to the client--a redirect must get back to the client and the client then issues a new request. I've tested this under Linux. Thanks!
You mean requests that do _not_ end with '/', right? Unfortunatly, you must do a redirect in this case so that the browser can resolve relative paths in the page correctly. If you use a forward, it can't do so correctly.
