Good morning.
I'm working with Tomcat 4.1.31 and am trying to catch 500 errors for custom error pages. We host around 400 portals in one instance (kudos to the developers, by the way, it runs great!) The idea is that the Perl script would create a site on the fly with little content in the event of a 500. The original request, then, would be something akin to http://mydomain.com/portal_a/index.jsp. I've got the cgi-servlet set up to run a Perl script and have created a simple JSP that returns response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR) to create the 500 for testing. The Perl script is set to pick up the original URL requested and return some content specific for portal_a. However, the environment does not seem to contain the URL of the original request (i.e., REQUEST_URI or PATH_INFO), as below: runCGI(envp=[{HTTP_USER_AGENT=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7, HTTP_ACCEPT_ENC DING=gzip,deflate, REQUEST_METHOD=GET, AUTH_TYPE=, HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE=en-us,e ;q=0.5, SERVER_NAME=harrier.mesas.com, SERVER_SOFTWARE=TOMCAT, HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE= 00, HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7, HTTP_HOST=harrier.mesas com:3233, GATEWAY_INTERFACE=CGI/1.1, X_TOMCAT_SCRIPT_PATH=/private-1/portal/pro uction35/www/500.cgi, REMOTE_ADDR=10.20.2.65, SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.1, PATH_IN O=, REMOTE_HOST=kengibson100625.mesas.mis, QUERY_STRING=var1=2, HTTP_CONNECTION keep-alive, SERVER_PORT=3233, HTTP_COOKIE=JSESSIONID=5065D8892D6F8D0FD891483596 283A5, CONTENT_TYPE=, CONTENT_LENGTH=, HTTP_ACCEPT=text/xml,application/xml,app ication/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5, SCRIPT_ AME=/cgi-bin/500.cgi, REMOTE_USER=, REMOTE_IDENT=}], command=/private-1/portal/ roduction35/www/500.cgi) Oddly, adding bogus parameters to the end of the request (var1=2) gets passed to the cgi-servlet in the QUERY_STRING parameter. Any help in finding the original request is greatly appreciated. Thanks Ken
