Hi,
I think Orion is wrong (if expands / to your relative directory)
http://www.foobar.com/bar/
"/" should expand to http://www.foobar.com
"" should expand to http://www.foobar.com/bar
"/bar" should expand to http://www.foobar.com/bar
if you can't expand to other things than "/" -> "/bar", you cannot
redirect to another application directory on your server.

I'm struggling with this too. Tomat does what JRun does, interprets relative
URLs as arelative to the root rather than the the context. I think Orion's
implementation makes more sense, but the spec is unclear. It simply says
that relative URLs must be translated to abosolute URLs, that's all.
If Tomcat is the reference implementation, then by definition it is "right",
even if it's wrong. That being said, unless Tomcat changes itself, shouldn't
Orion follow suite?.
