I'm developing a webapp under TDK which gets a target URL in the
PathInfo. This is working fine in TDK. But when I move the webapp to
standalone Tomcat-4.0.3, I see that Tomcat is gratuitously eating
slashes in PathInfo, so it's compressing stuff like
http://example.com
to
http:/example.com
and breaking my app.
I wrote a dinky test case, attached below, but it basically just takes
the HttpServletRequest and writes out its URL pieces, the most
important being req.getPathInfo().
My test URL is:
http://localhost:8080/sna/servlet/gov.nasa.hq.sna.intranetbroker.SlashTest/oj///simpson?lawyer=cochran
When I run it under TDK, the result is:
Method: GET
Scheme: http
ServerName: localhost
ServerPort: 8080
ContextPath: /sna
ServletPath: /servlet/gov.nasa.hq.sna.intranetbroker.SlashTest
RequestURL:
http://localhost:8080/sna/servlet/gov.nasa.hq.sna.intranetbroker.SlashTest/oj///simpson
RequestURI: /sna/servlet/gov.nasa.hq.sna.intranetbroker.SlashTest/oj///simpson
QueryString: lawyer=cochran
PathInfo: /oj///simpson
When I do the same with Tomcat (on port 58080), I get:
Method: GET
Scheme: http
ServerName: localhost
ServerPort: 58080
ContextPath: /sna
ServletPath: /servlet/gov.nasa.hq.sna.intranetbroker.SlashTest
RequestURL:
http://localhost:58080/sna/servlet/gov.nasa.hq.sna.intranetbroker.SlashTest/oj/simpson
RequestURI: /sna/servlet/gov.nasa.hq.sna.intranetbroker.SlashTest/oj/simpson
QueryString: lawyer=cochran&foo
PathInfo: /oj/simpson
Note that it's modifying what it reports as the incoming URL, in
PathInfo, RequestURL, and RequestURI. That shouldn't be happening,
should it? Something not quite right in Tomcat?
(I don't want to have to URL-encode this, because I've run into
problems before -- my app is a proxy and url-encoded FORM variable
using METHOD=GET get trashed.)
Suggestions? Thanks.
----
I'm including the test code, in case maybe I'm doing something
stupid. The list manager didn't allow posting as an attachment, so
I'll just inline the body here.
public class SlashTest extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws java.io.IOException
{
res.setContentType("text/plain");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println( "\n Method: " + req.getMethod()
+ "\n Scheme: " + req.getScheme()
+ "\n ServerName: " + req.getServerName()
+ "\n ServerPort: " + req.getServerPort()
+ "\n ContextPath: " + req.getContextPath()
+ "\n ServletPath: " + req.getServletPath()
+ "\n RequestURL: " + req.getRequestURL()
+ "\n RequestURI: " + req.getRequestURI()
+ "\n QueryString: " + req.getQueryString()
+ "\n PathInfo: " + req.getPathInfo()
);
}
}
