----------------------------------

             Summary: HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() not working for relative URL
                 Key: WFLY-3279
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3279
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Web (Undertow)
    Affects Versions: 8.1.0.CR1, 8.0.0.Final
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: Mehboob Alam
            Assignee: Stuart Douglas
         Attachments: Recreate_SendRedirect_Problem.ear

I cannot get HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() to work correctly. This only happens to me with Wildfly. It works on previous versions of JBoss EAP/AS and several other app servers where I tested the scenario.

 
The sample app has two servlet. I navigate from one to the other using sendRedirect. The key seems to be relative path in the form "../whatever/whatever" is not working.

To test this, I enter my app's URL like this-
http://localhost:8080/helloworld/hello

Then, inside the first servlet, I do a redirect -
	String url = "../goodbye/bye";
    	response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(url));	

wildfly 8 gives me a HTTP Status 404. wildfly 8.1 CR1 gives me a HTTP Status 403.  All other app server works. It takes me to this url:

http://localhost:8080/goodbye/bye



JBoss eap-6-1-0
Status  Host                Path
302      localhost:8080      /helloworld/hello
200      localhost:8080      /goodbye/bye/

WildFly 8.0 Final
Status  Host                Path
302      localhost:8080      /helloworld/hello
404      localhost:8080      /helloworld/


WildFly 8.1.0 CR1 Final
Status  Host                Path
302       localhost:8080      /helloworld/hello
403       localhost:8080      /helloworld/
