[undertow-dev] Different checks between servlet context's get resource methods

[Brad Wood]

Why does the *getResource()* method in *ServletContextImpl* have the
following check

        if (!path.startsWith("/")) {
            throw
UndertowServletMessages.MESSAGES.pathMustStartWithSlash(path);
        }

but the *getResourceAsStream()* method in the same class does not.

The ServletContext spec does say "*The path must begin with a / *" for the
*getResource()* method
https://javaee.github.io/javaee-spec/javadocs/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getResource-java.lang.String-


And the *getResourceAsStream()* method also says that "*The path must be
specified according to the rules given in getResource*"

https://javaee.github.io/javaee-spec/javadocs/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getResourceAsStream-java.lang.String-


So it seems the same validation rules should apply to both methods.

Thanks!
