A web server will happily server a static content in response to a
POST request. The redirect happens because you are requesting a
directory and your request URI does not end with a '/'.

1. In your access log here I see "GET /docs" instead of "/cb2/docs".
Is it intentional?

2. For Tomcat to issue a redirect, the "docs" directory must be
present in your web application. It can be empty, but it must be
present. (If there is none, Tomcat does not know that the requested
resource is a directory).

3. Starting with some version (January 2016) the default place where
the redirect is issued by Tomcat was moved from Mapper (in earlier
stages of request processing) to the DefaultServlet. This behaviour is
controlled by configuration attributes on a Context (in the file
META-INF/context.xml of your web application). See CVE-2015-5345
