Can someone get this to the developers? Thanks.
After some more research I do believe there's a bug in Tomcat somewhere. I
hosted my simple servlet in Allaire's JRun on Windows 2000, and it works
fine. Also when I host the servlet in Netscape's IPlanet it works fine. See
the code of the servlet below to test this.
Versions tested: Tomcat 3.1 final, Tomcat 3.2 beta 7
Platform client: Windows 2000.
Platform server: tested on Windows 2000, Linux RedHat v6.2 and Sun Solaris
8.
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)
