Hi Joe,

what is your configuration?

1) If Tomcat serves the request (i.e. mod_jk forwards it), the jsessionid should not be a problem, because tomcat should generate the Content-Type header.

2) If Apache serves the request, you should get a "Not Found", because it doesn't strip the jsessionid.

So basically I don't understand your observation (although I didn't try by myself). If 2) is the problem, I'm actually thinking about an option to strip jsessionid's via mod_jk from static content.

Regards,

Rainer

I'm trying to connect Apache2 with mod_jk to Tomcat5.5.

Almost everything seems to work.  However, if I have cookies disabled,
Tomcat will rewrite all urls to include ;jsessionid=XXXXXXXXX (which is I
want and expect).  Unfortunately, it seems as though Apache2 insists on
determining the content-type of the response based on the extension of the
file requested.  This means that:

if i request "/myservlet/index.html"
 I get "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"

if i request "/myservlet/index.html;jsessionid=12341243123412341234"
 I get "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8"

Obviously, this is a problem.  I looked through the apache docs and the
mod_jk docs, but I didn't find a way to disable this behavior.  I could
possibly set the DefaultType directive to "text/html", but this would leave
.gif/.jpg/.css/etc broken.

I also didn't find much through google.  Any pointers would be greatly
appreciated.
