I have to disagree; an empty relative URL is simply a reference to the current page, which may be quite appropriate in some circumstances (but arguably not a plain 302). I strongly disagree with the idea that the container should protect the programmer against his/her own errors; there are a myriad of things a webapp can do that make no sense, and the container should not be slowed down by checking for them, unless they are clear violations of the spec. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
