RE: Tomcat bug - chokes on # when redirecting

2002-11-05 Thread Shapira, Yoav 
Hi,

This is the most obscure bug I have ever seen:

OK ;)  Wait a while ;)

If you use the redirect from IE6, Tomcat displays foo bar#123 rather
than the expected foo bar.  If you hit refresh at the new URL, Tomcat
gets foo bar right.

When this experiment is tried from Mozilla, Tomcat works properly.

What is special about a redirect from IE6?!?

I reproduced your results on my machine.  I don't think it's a tomcat
bug, because its works well in Mozilla.  I also tried Opera (6.05) and
it worked perfectly.

I think IE ignores the anchor in the URL because the page comes from the
cache.  Try including no-cache headers in the JSP and see what happens.

Regardless, I don't think it's a tomcat bug.  If you check the
RequestDumperValve output and the access log, you'll see tomcat responds
according to spec.

Have a look at the access log.

I guess IE 6.0 passes the anchor tag to the request,
the other browsers don't.

Tomcat doesn't know about the special meaning of 
the anchor (#123) as it as client side thing.

   String go = request.getParameter(go);
   if (true.equals(go)) {
   response.sendRedirect(redir.jsp?foo=bar#123);
   return;
   }


   foo %= request.getParameter(foo) %
   a href=redir.jsp?go=trueredir.jsp?go=true/a

RE: Tomcat bug - chokes on # when redirecting

2002-11-05 Thread Schnitzer, Jeff 
Of course, that makes perfect sense - I had been assuming that the # was
always passed to the server.  But of course that's a client-side thing.
An IE bug (oh joy).  It's not a caching issue - the JSP displays an
invokeCount just to be sure.

The next question then - is it even remotely appropriate for Tomcat to
compensate?  # is an illegal character in an URLEncoded string right?
If so, Tomcat could (and probably should) ignore unencoded #'s (and text
that follows) in the query string... ?

This seems like a pretty serious problem - there are a lot of IE6 users
out there.
