--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- The specification says relative URLs must be translated to "fully qualified URL". My understanding of that is that it means an absolute URL. The specification says nothing about normalizing or not normalizing the URL. Given that Tomcat has worked this way for so long, I am surprised there haven't been more complaints given the statement that IE does not handle non-normalized redirects. I'm not against normalizing them in principle but I want to take a look at the code to see what would be involved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
