           Summary: URLs with session ID in them no longer work
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.20
          Platform: Other
               URL: https://bowmore.cs.st-
                    andrews.ac.uk/finesse/Resources.do;jsessionid=AAAAAAAAAA
                    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I have a web application which users first access through a static login page.
They then enter a username and password, and are redirected to a servlet, which
creates a session, sets whether they have authenticated successfully in that
session, and redirects them on to the next page:

response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(url));

This worked fine in Tomcat versions up to 5.5.17, however having just installed
5.5.20 on our development server, I now get a 404 error instead of the page.
Removing the ";jsessionid=..." from the URL does work correctly (giving either a
403 if the user is not logged in, or has cookies disabled, or the correct page
if they're logged in and have cookies for the session system to use instead):

https://bowmore.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/finesse/Resources.do

At a guess, looking at the change log, "Improve handling of the ';' character in
the URL so that it is now allowed if properly %xx encoded. (remm)" is somehow
related, but that's just a guess.

Tested using JDK 1.5_10, from Firefox 3.0 Alpha 1, Safari 2.0.4 and Lynx 2.8.5.
