As I understand Mark's reply, he doesn't consider DefaultServlet's behaviour, under the circumstances I'm talking about, as being correct either. This supports my view of the issue as a bug. And yes, you may be right that the the widespread use of IE may have helped to conceal this bug. But: 1. As I said before: looking at IE to find out if a server behaves correctly seems to me like asking Genghis Khan when you want to learn about peace, freedom and human rights. 2. (much more important) this bug affects me. So I will have this fixed, while the reasons why this has gone largely unnoticed for obviously quite some time are of little relevance to me.
