Kevin,
Check this link out:

It may be that you are using different versions of the Servlet
Specification supported by the container (v. 2.1 vs. 2.2 or 2.3) The
behavior you are seeing I think is correct for the 2.3 version.
The 2.2 spec is a little ambiguous.
In addition, you might also want to consider using
response.encodeRedirectURL() so that the URL is properly encoded if you
are doing any URL rewriting for session tracking.
