No answer here, but a possible 'workaround' - make the hostname of the server the IP address, e.g. hostname is "192.168.1.154"… ugly hack, but curious if that would work.

It looks like there's no such parameter as cifs.urlfile.prefix on 3.3g.

Please raise a JIRA issue. At minimum documentation (the wiki and the release note) needs to be updated.

This issue holds for version 3.4.a (community) as well..
Furthermore the relevant issue in JIRA is marked as "Won't Fix"..
Does this mean that the feature of this property being customizable is dropped?

Just for reference:

I have worked around this problem using URLRewrite:
http://www.tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

In case you're fronting Tomcat with Apache and mod_jk, you can use the mod_rewrite module, to work around this problem.

It would be nice though if the problem got fixed or the corresponding documentation got updated properly.
