The Servlet 2.1 API unequivocally states that relative URLs are not
permitted with response.sendRedirect(). See the following API link:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.1/api/javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.html#sendRedirect(javax.servlet.http.String)
But you know what? You are right! It seems you can indeed use relative
URLs with sendRedirect(). I am now not sure whether this is a bug or an
unintended 'feature'... :->
I have appropriately modified the FAQ entry. Thanks for pointing it out.
