Hello, This ALMOST seems to work. I can't tell if I'm having a problem with Apache, or it's a problem with Tomcat.
## It works for a URL like: #http://www.myserver.com/%3bjsessionid=BC2DC8F1FACFD95501ED6A2A0BC9F5E2 # ## But, it doesn't seem to work for a URL like: #http://www.myserver.com/login/index.jsp%3bjsessionid=BC2DC8F1FACFD95501ED6A2A0BC9F5E2 # The addition of the "login/index.jsp" results in the following error: HTTP Status 404 - /login/index.jsp%3bjsessionid=BC2DC8F1FACFD95501ED6A2A0BC9F5E2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ type Status report message /login/index.jsp%3bjsessionid=BC2DC8F1FACFD95501ED6A2A0BC9F5E2 description The requested resource (/login/index.jsp%3bjsessionid=BC2DC8F1FACFD95501ED6A2A0BC9F5E2) is not available. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Tomcat/4.1.12 It looks like the %3b was translated for (or by?) Tomcat when there was no speific page given. Any ideas?
