            Bug ID: 55373
           Summary: Make Manager's write actions Post/Redirect/Get safe
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.0.0-RC1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Manager
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: 1983-01...@gmx.net

The current implemenation of the Manager (at least the GUI) has a design flaw.

Actions like undeployment and stop/reload/etc. are performed with a GET
request. HTTP standard mandates that unsafe operations should not use a GET.
What can happen in such a case (at least for me once in a while)? Undeploy a
webapp through Manager GUI, re-deploy through a shell, close browser. Reopen
browser, hit that reopened tab, BANG your app gets undeployed again.

Such operations must be implemented with the Post/Redirect/Get idiom. Since
this is a breaking change, it can be introduced in Tomcat 8.
