Tomcat 4.0.6 Windows 2000 IE 5, SP3 Netscape 7.02
I have a website which is part public, part secure. There are html entries such as "< a href=members/index.jsp >" in the public area which will jump to the secure area. The site is entered, by default using http://localhost:8080 but the members area is protected via SSL and transport guarantee stanzas <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>ScoutGroup-Secure</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/members/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>member</role-name> </auth-constraint> <user-data-constraint> <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint> </security-constraint> I understand that this should force any http://localhost:8080/scoutgroup/members request to switch to https://localhost:8443/scoutgroup/members. Under Netscape it does and I am notified that I am going to a secure page, prompted to accept the SSL certificate then driven through my logon.jsp to response.encodeURL("j_security_check"). Under IE, however, I am notified that I am going to a secure page, prompted to accept the SSL certificate then told the page cannot be found. For testing purposes, I tried putting http://localhost:8080/scoutgroup/members in the browser's address box. The access log contains the following (with my annotations prefixed with ////) //// Using IE 127.0.0.1 - - [09/Aug/2003:15:09:28 10000] "GET /scoutgroup/members/index.jsp HTTP/1.1" 302 654 127.0.0.1 - - [09/Aug/2003:15:09:30 10000] "GET /scoutgroup/members/index.jsp HTTP/1.1" 302 654 127.0.0.1 - - [09/Aug/2003:15:09:30 10000] " a ] ?4?

I've checked the logs - can't find anything more informative than above. I've tried running Tomcat via the "catalina run" command line option but there is no extra info there either. I know I can modify my code to always force the full path into hyperlinks but that's not good programming and has enormous potential for maintenance problems. Where do I look now?
