The need to do this has (correctly) been posted as a bug in Tomcat 4. The
problem is that the implementation of sendRedirect is creating a new
java.net.URL in order to convert relative URLs to absolute (as required by
the servlet spec), and this won't work unless there are URLStreamHandlers
in place for the "https" scheme.
Right now, Martin's workaround will fix the problem. But we're going to
change Tomcat 4 before final release so that you don't have to do it.
