Tomcat always sends a 302 redirect when response.sendRedirect(newURL); is called. However, a lot of user-agents wrongly follow the redirect with a GET when the initial request was a POST. I'm guessing that your vendor has some special code that is attempting to work around this. > Is there any way to force these redirects to be done with the HTTP 302? > > We are running Tomcat 5.5.11, Java 1.4.2_04-b05 on Linux 2.6.9-34.ELsmp > > Cheers, > > Danny > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
