There's an earlier check in org/apache/catalina/connector/Response.toAbsolute(String) (called directly by sendRedirect). If the location is null, it is returned with no modification. Any filtering of null Header values is done elsewhere (which is why the Location header itself does not appear in the HTTP response posted by Tim). This could be an appropriate place to throw an exception (if you agree that such an exception is appropriate, which you obviously don't). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkpFDsUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD5NACdHIZSlLK7xuGUyHoJwD8pXZf4 OosAn3aaPyBCnDv2lkrhvl3xd/nTgOhh =gJ2v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
