JBoss sends improper content length with a redirect response

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Our application sends a redirect with response.sendRedirect. JBoss sends a non-zero value content length with the resulting redirect response to the client. This causes the client to hang as it waits for data per the specified content length, although it will be not provided in the redirect response.

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 5.x
    • 6.x
  • JBoss Web Server (JWS) 5.x
    • Tomcat 9.0.x
