Hi,
my application maps a servlet like this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/files/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
The servlet serves files from the file system, and is invoked by appending
the path to the file on disc to the servlet base url, thus:
/localhost/files/c:\temp\pic.png
Under tomcat 6.0.9 this works just fine - the servlet is invoked and the
path info part of the URL comes through as expected. Under tomcat
6.0.14this doesn't work whenever the filename contains a backslash -
the servlet
is not invoked at all, and instead a blank page (not html - just empty data)
is returned. It makes no difference if I manually escape the backslash in
the URL or let the browser do it - the result is the same.
Anyone else seeing this? What changed between 6.0.9 and 6.0.14?
Many thanks,
R
