I think both of us are right because servlet API2.1 does not support
relative URLs in redirect request but Servlet API 2.2 does and also
unequivocally. There is no mention, however, that this function was modified
in API2.2.

The Servlet 2.1 API unequivocally states that relative URLs are not
permitted with response.sendRedirect(). See the following API link:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.1/api/javax.servlet.http.HttpServletR
esponse.html#sendRedirect(javax.servlet.http.String)
But you know what? You are right! It seems you can indeed use relative
URLs with sendRedirect(). I am now not sure whether this is a bug or an
unintended 'feature'... :->
I have appropriately modified the FAQ entry. Thanks for pointing it out.
