Change subject: restapi: Add null servlet ...................................................................... restapi: Add null servlet When there is nothing mapped explicity (without patterns) to the root of the application, the servlet container assumes that requests for this root without a trailing slash correspond to a directory, and as a result it redirects, using the HTTP 302 code, to the same root with a trailing slash. For example, if the client sends this request: GET /ovirt-engine/api HTTP/1.1 The server will responds like this: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/ This works fine for browsers, but it isn't supported by the SDKs, as they don't understand HTTP redirections. To avoid this issue this patch introduces a "null" servlet, that does nothing and is explicitly mapped to the root of the application.
