Well, the problem was located exactly between the chair and my keyboard. I'm sorry.

The test executed with _worker's_ port, not the balancer's one. With this fixed, indeed, now it doesn't work:

Works with EAP worker:
{code}
curl 'http://192.168.122.172:8080/tses;jsessionid=HfYUfMkbXbaeKZ+SpgQbVqd5.jboss-eap-6.4'

 <ul>
  <li>Jsessionid: HfYUfMkbXbaeKZ+SpgQbVqd5.jboss-eap-6.4</li>
 </ul>
</body>
</html>
{code}

Doesn't work via balancer:
{code}
curl 'http://192.168.122.172:8847/tses;jsessionid=HfYUfMkbXbaeKZ+SpgQbVqd5.jboss-eap-6.4'

{code}

The test is amended and added to the continuous QA cycle now.

> This is similar to MODCLUSTER-328, but in regards to ; instead of ?. 
> mod_cluster does not recognize ; as a delimiter when checking the request context. Thus with no trailing slash on index page requests, it treats ;jsessionid as part of the request context and tries to check the balancer for a deployed context of /helloworld;jsessionid=..., which doesn't exist and 404s. Adding the trailing slash, mod_cluster can properly delimit this and then sees the context (so /helloworld/;jsessionid=... works just fine).
