Project: Tomcat Category: Bug Report SubCategory: New Bug Report Class: swbug State: received Priority: medium Severity: non-critical Confidence: public Environment: Release: 1.2.1 JVM Release: 1.2.2 Operating System: NT OS Release: 4.0 Platform: PC Synopsis: Redirect to welcome file works not too well Description: I have a problem with welcome file list. It doesn't work the way other webservers do. Instead of showing content of i.e. index.jsp file like others do, it posts a redirect to index.jsp And that redirect have content type of text/html which is OK for Web browsers, but not OK for WAP phones (or other devices I think). I think Tomcat should: 1) Just return welcome file and not redirect to it. Redirecting is slower and makes bookmarked addreses longer (client could bookmark http://www.x.com/ not http://www.x.com/index.html) and makes bookmarks more stable (if somebody changes index.html to index.jsp and somebody has bookmarked www.x.com/index.html) Maybe should it be parameter for that behaviour? 2) Redirect with a type which is suitable for user agent (user agent informs server which mime type it supports)Title: BugRat Report # 780
