Hi, I wonder how I could achieve that Tomcat sends a 301 (permanent redirect) instead of 302 (temporary redirect) when a directory is requested without a trailing slash.
Currently, when Tomcat receives a request like http://<domain>/some-directory<http://%3cdomain%3e/some-directory> it redirects to http://<domain>/some-directory/<http://%3cdomain%3e/some-directory/> adding the missing trailing slash. Apparently the redirect is executed either by the mapper or the DefaultServlet, depending on the "mapperDirectoryRedirectEnabled" property in the context. Either way, I would like to have a 301 instead of 302 for SEO reasons. How can I do this? Already considered subclassing the Default Servlet but the redirect is in a private method.. Do I have to write a Valve? Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Benny
