handing absolute URL in post request in tomcat 2003-10-17 - By Ankit Doshi

Hi,
I am running my tomcat on 8999 port and I am not using apache. I have created
servlet named TestServlet in context test.
Now if I telnet to my server on port 8999 and then say POST /test/servlet
/TestServlet
it calls the servlet correctly.
but if I send an absolute URL in the POST request instead of relative URL like
POST http://localhost:8999/test/servlet/TestServlet
then it gives me 404 error in tomcat like
404 R( + http:/localhost:8999/test/servlet/TestServlet + null) null
I have configured this servlet on my tomcat and some client is going to invoke
this servlet with the given URL. The client here is an automated process, which
I assume is written in C, which just opens socket on the 8999 port on my server
and in post, again gives the absolute URL. Now why do this automated client
program invokes absolute URL is not clear, but I assume he might be doing this
to avoid some processing at his end.
If I use apache, then apache would handle this kind of URL, but I have some
limitations at my end, and cannot use apache.
How can I configure the tomcat to accept this kind of absolute URL in post?
