form-based authentication and SSL, general principles

All I want to do is encrypt a login form but not the pages the
security-constraint protects.

It's all well and good that the spec says such-and-such, but what you are
ignoring is that fact that this change in TC5 is effectively taking away a
large, significant piece functionality from a large, significant percentage of
the people out there using TC. 

There are probably hundreds if not thousands of TC4 users out there doing what I
want to do in TC5 but can't.

It also implies that you (or rather the people who wrote the spec) expect that
other application server providers, i.e. IBM and BEA etc, will be willing to do
this to their users too, which is obviously a false assumption.

If you read the spec, you'll see the word forward being metioned in
conjunction with the login page. Hence, it doesn't have to go through the
constraints checks.
This will not be implemented, as most people considered using a sendRedirect for
FORM handling was evil.

There are two areas which have different behavior in TC 5:
- welcome files redirection
- FORM redirection
Since those are important changes, they weren't ported to Tomcat 4.1.x.

Another alternative solution would be to allow the form-based authentication
login page to submit to https://mydomain:8443/mycontext/j_security_check
