I have an application written on tomcat 3.2.3. A majority of the pages pass fully qualified url's as parameter values on the querystring (ex. testpage.jsp?pageName=http://www.someserver.com/test.jsp). This all worked fine in tomcat 3.2.3. However, since I've upgraded to tomcat 4.0.3, this no longer works. I have read some posts in various newsgroups suggesting methods such as URLEncoding the pagename, and although this may work, it would consist of a sizable effort (there are around 70 pages that would have to be updated). Before I tackle this, I was hoping somebody might know of a way to get tomcat 4.0.3 to allow urls's (particularly the "//" portion of the string) to pass through a querystring without having to urlencode or any other method that would alter the text. Are there any special server settings or propery files I could alter? Any java files from the tomcat source I could mofify?
