To expand a bit on what Chris said:

Look at the form of the link in restricted.jsp:
>      <a href="../index.jsp">Back to index</a>

It's a relative link, so the browser (not Tomcat) resolves it based on
the URL of the current page. The same happened when you went from
index.jsp to ssl/restricted.jsp, except Tomcat recognized that ssl was
controlled with a <security-constraint>, so it generated a redirect back
to the browser with the http protocol and port replaced by https and the
redirect port; the browser then made the actual https request.
