--- Comment #3 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- Hmm. Interesting. RFC2396 says /./ and /../ are only special in relative URLs. It implies (but does not make explicitly clear) that /./ and /../ are to be treated literally in absolute URLs. That certainly isn't what any web server I am aware of does. They would get treated the same way they would in relative URLs and be normalized. There is certainly an argument, based on removing ambiguity, to normalize URLs generated by sendRedirect and friends. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
