In November of last year, Mark Palandri asked about the behavior in Tomcat5
where a request for the URI  <http://bar/foo> http://bar/foo resulted in a
redirect to  <http://bar/foo/> http://bar/foo/ (note trailing slash).  Bill
Barker answered with 'The reason that Tomcat does this is that HTML tags
like <img

src="images/bar.gif"> would get resolved to /images/bar.gif instead of

/foo/images/bar.gif.'

 

After using Tomcat4 for a couple of years, we decided to try Tomcat5 for our
next release. However, we immediately ran into the problem above. Search as
I may, I have found little discussion of this problem and no way around it.
Is there some configuration change that can be made to return to the Tomcat4
behavior? If not, will there be? If so, is there any time frame?

 

Thanks, Blair
