Thanks for the pointers. The problem ended up being that the redirect required not only an HTTP-StatusCode (301 - Moved permanently) but also a httpServletResponse.setHeader("Location", "http://newurl"). Without the header, Mozilla shows the originally requested page which contains a redirect javascript, whereas Internet Explorer just shows a generic error page.

The extensions ".as" and ".aspp" work : fine. How are you mapping the .as and .aspp extensions? Through a servlet mapping in yoru webapp's web.xml? You could also check the global web.xml. That one defines the mapping for .jsp files; maybe someone at your site put in a mapping for .asp as well...? Another thought -- do you access Tomcat directly, or do you go through Apache as an intermediary? -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net/ tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com/ code scan -- http://www.JxRef.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
