Re: Disable directory redirect?

[Garthfield Carter]

In Apache you fix this problem by altering the: UseCanonicalName in
httpd.conf, I forget whether it should be on or off. If you're using
an Apache front-end to Tomcat then you can stop it there.

 The strange thing is the redirect seem to happen before any filters or
 servlet are allowed to process the request. This is really annoying as I
 have a filter that is expecting to see the /boards request not the
 redirected /boards/ request. This feels like a bug to me. Shouldn't
 the redirect be initiated by the default servlet after any user
 servlet/filters have processed the request?
  
 There is a bug report for this but the comments are not helpful and it
 seems to be related to the 5.0 code base.

RE: Disable directory redirect?

[Oliver Hutchison]

Thanks but I'm not using Apache as a front-end and the problem is with
some custom processing that Tomcat is doing before any of the standard
processing so I'm not sure using Apache would help in any case.
