Bug ID: 56917
Summary: Create a configuration to write relative 302 responses
instead of absolute
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: trunk
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: [email protected]

Create a Tomcat configuration to force tomcat to write relative location
headers in 301/302 responses instead of absolute location headers.
Purpose:
Today Tomcat always writes an absolute response for redirects per RFC2616
standards. However as many modern browsers support 302s to relative Locations
as explained in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_location , our friendly
Tomcat application server should allow configuration to write back 302s in the
more friendly form.
The ripple effect of this where applications choose to use this setting, will
be very good for cpu cycles of web servers and load balancers all over the
world. This can greatly reduce the need for ProxyPassReverse in the Apache
web server, and also for URL rewriting happenin in physical load balancers.
See this example where another gentleman has been compelled to recompile Tomcat
to achieve the same thing
