Using a valve seems a bit crazy, even a filter seems excessive.
ok, what do you suggest?
I'm not quite clear on what the problem is; is it that IE is misbehaving, or is it that your app is gaining a query string where it's unnecessary?
both. If Mozilla Firefox has not problems with the same app while IE has (as I wrote in my original post), the conclusion is that IE is misbehaving. My app, then, is adding an unnecessary query string (as I wrote in my original post). But I don't have control on it. (SSLExt is adding that string, as I wrote in my original post)
If the query string is unnecessary, try to determine why it's getting added to the end of the redirected url. Your SSLExt may be misconfigured, or not doing it's job properly - or the Struts components doing something improperly.
I inspected SSLExt source code and I see that this is the desired behaviour. Unfortunately, there is no way to configure SSLExt to avoid edding the above string. You can see it from the source code.
If it's meant to be there, and the problem lies with IE you should examine the request/response that is causing IE to 404.
The request/response is that one that I pasted (in my original post). After the 302 response (+ very long Location) by the server IE doesn't send anymore requests and only displays the error. So, that is not really a 404, but simply a IE bug
You may find the IE Developer toolbar helpful, along with a close examination of what happens on the server when IE tries to request the URL in the redirected response. E.g. configure an access log valve and watch the log as each browser type hits the urls. check that both see the same thing.
when I decided to post to this list I already performed all the above tasks. If you read carefully my original post you noticed that. I was not looking for a teacher to tell me how to debug my code. I was expecting someone gave me his opinion on a possible solution. thanks anyway -- TREMALNAIK --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
