I'm seeing the inclusion of the "" in the URL, entered into the browser, altering which page is actually delivered. NOTE: We have Glassfish in the back end.

 

With NO redirects in place at all, we see the following behaviour when attempting to navigate to variations of the URL (just for demonstration purposes): FAILS (returns Glassfish 404 error): https://fqdn.blah.blah/myaccount/forms/moving

 

SUCCESS (goes to a page about moving - the old page we want to redirect away from): https://fqdn.blah.blah/myaccount//forms/moving

 

SUCCESS (goes to the myaccount page as expected) https://fqdn.blah.blah/myaccount/

 

We need to redirect... FROM: https://fqdn.blah.blah/myaccount//forms/moving TO: https://fqdn.blah.blah/moving.html

 

Problem is that, as you say, nothing after the goes through in the request and the path is actually /myaccount As I don't want to redirect /myaccount - does anyone know how to make this happen?

 

Cheers, Brett
