The manager would be wrong if:
a) we had a consistent way of handling the ROOT context b) the agreed consistent way to reference ROOT was ""
I am not aware of a) and from a user perspective "/" seems to make more sense for b)
At least at present the docs agree with the actual behaviour.

Hi, IT might be the manager that's wrong. When editing server.xml or context.xml files for those Tomcat versions, users should use path="" and not path="/". The latter leads to significant failures.

I did a quick test (on TC4 and TC5) before changing the docs.
http://localhost:8080/manager/reload?path=/ returns OK - Reloaded application at context path /
http://localhost:8080/manager/reload?path= returns FAIL - Invalid context path was specified

Hi, I thought the docs were right, path="" for the ROOT, not path="/". And therefore I thought this was an invalid bug report. Was I wrong?
