Description

We're currently running an Felix HTTP-filter inside a Tomcat WAR. This WAR has the HTTP Proxy from Felix registered on a relative path (for example '/osgi'). When trying to use the Felix webconsole, one would suspect to have to use an URI like '/osgi/system/console'. However, this is not working.

After some debugging, I came to the conclusion that the problem is caused by the implementation of ServletHandlerRequest#calculatePathInfo() (in the http-base bundle). This method does not take the relative paths of a servlet/filter into account to determine the path-info. Instead, it assumes the servlet/filter has no relative path at all. Due to this, the webconsole retrieves an incorrect URL and refuses to display as the webconsole uses the path-info for determining which page (bundles, configuration, ...) it has to display.
