Okay, so the Tomcat response is (expectedly) consistent. Thanks for
stepping-in.

Just out of curiosity, why does Tomcat not support drive-by logins? Is
it merely because the spec leaves the behavior in that case ambiguous
(there's no obvious target page to go to)? Many of securityfilter's
users use it merely because it allows drive-by logins. We're happy to
have them (!), but this seems like a reasonable feature to have in the
core of Tomcat.
