Meh. I'd rather see a known, cross-browser technique like a redirect than potentially non-portable treachery. What, specifically, does the spec say regarding this? (I'm quickly looking in 2.4, which isn't the latest; it seems to state only that it must check that a static resource or servlet is mapped to the file named in the welcome-file-list, so I guess the zero-byte trick is spec-friendly. Still makes me grumpy, but I'm old and easily irritated :) Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
