Bug ID: 57438 Summary: Inifinite redirect loop when maximum upload size exceeded Product: Tomcat 7 Version: 7.0.55 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Servlet & JSP API Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: martinvis...@gmail.com Created attachment 32366 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=32366&action=edit The stack trace of the loop Running a Spring MVC 4.1.4 web application on JDK 7, Ubuntu 14.10 (and Debian Wheezy). Tested on version 7.0.53 through 7.0.57. The web application works as expected in versions 7.0.53 and 7.0.54. Version 7.0.55 and up display the following issue. When uploading a large file, larger than the specified maximum, the exception org.springframework.web.multipart.MaxUploadSizeExceededException (caused by a org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase.SizeLimitExceededException) is caught via an @ExceptionHandler. After logging the exception and resolving some parameters from the inputstream a redirect is performed like this: return new org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView("redirect:/error", new org.springframework.ui.ExtendedModelMap()); I expect that this would generate a HTTP 302 redirect and will trigger a GET request on "/error". The upload obviously is a POST request and the redirect would perform a GET request. Tomcat version 7.0.54 and .53 indeed do that, but in version 55 and up it remains a POST request. The complete multipart content-type is saved and the whole request is repeated until the server throws an error: (failed) net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.
