The iPlanet plug-in was always using the port that the server was listening on, rather than the port the request was originally sent to. This can cause two problems:


  • On some setups, the port number will not match any of the ports for the virtual hosts, which can cause requests to fail.
  • sendRedirect() will build an incorrect absolute URI when given a relative URI - which will usually cause the browser to get 404's whenever a servlet does a sendRedirect().
