This is incorrect. Browsers don't have a high-level API for
manipulating URLs, parameters, etc. If you are using a toolkit, it may
add these restrictions, but the browser has nothing to do with it.

PHP uses the "[]" suffix to indicate that a parameter name is expected
to have multiple values, and expose those values to the PHP script as
an array (instead of returning e.g. only the first value encountered).

The servlet spec is clear: the name of the parameter is the name of
the parameter from the HTTP request. If you decide to name your
parameter "array[]", then you must access it using "array[]".

If you want to use a framework that adds that kind of interpretation,
you are welcome to do so, but Tomcat will never add anything like that.
