That relative URL is not valid. To construct the absolute URL, you strip

We use Wicket that periodically redirects to relative URLs starting with

to be absolute), but I am not clear on why doesn't Tomcat collapse those
URLs in Response.toAbsolute()? Specifically:

Actually it was pointed out to me that it is the container not the
app/framework that is generating the Location header, and so isn't the below

I strongly advocate server relative URLs which get rid of the whole
problem. All that means is the URL becomes everything after the
