windows和linux下Tomcat的区别

Question

At first, sorry for my poor English, please understand me) I wonder that there is some different behaviors of converting between tomcat for windows pc and Linux server. I mean that requested header names from browser are converted to lower case in tomcat with my pc, but Linux server's tomcat does not with the same web page.

The server application checks a header name received fro browser to equal to a server's key which has been already converted to lower case as read from the configuration file.

SO, it does work well as both keys being matched(lower case) with windows pc, but Linux server does not (header received from browser being not converted to lower case).

Please someone explain why this is.

Thank you.

Local PC : windows7 Server : Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux server(release 6.2) Tomcat version(both) : 7.0.57

Answer 1

As converting headers to lowercase is called a WONTFIX bug , I would think windows advantages on what the bug says to simplify the lookup of headers . Maybe linux is more efficient with their lookups and won't need that conversion, passing headers in a more transparent way.

Answer 2

I have the same darned problem. If I used jasper report I can't used it on the linux server. But still works under MS OS very well. Have somebody a workaround how I can fix that problem. Or maybe a another workaround for me? Thanks a lot for you help guys. Stay safe.
