           Summary: 400 Bad Request response during auto re-deployment
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.20
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When you re-deploy the root war file using autoDeploy="true", Tomcat sends a
response with status code 400 (Bad Request: No host matches ...).

This makes it impossible to serve a custom error document with Apache + mod_jk
since the request processing is immediately halted to guard against security
problems caused by bad requests. (See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument)

RFC 2616 (section 10.4.1) says about status code 400: "The request could not be
understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat
the request without modifications"

The thing is, that there's nothing wrong with the client's request. It's not a
syntactical issue and indeed the client SHOULD repeat the request.

I wonder whether a 404, 500 or 503 wouldn't be more appropriate here, at least
this would allow one to serve a custom error document during re-deployments.
