Client Side Filtering - Stage 1, Last Hint - Lower case 'webgoat' in Hint's link to clientSideFiltering.jsp

Category: Broken Link
Version: 5.4
Platform: Xubuntu 12.04 / Tomcat 7

Description

In the Hints for Stage 1 of the AJAX Security -> LAB: Client Side Filtering 
there is a broken link.

The link has the WebGoat directory in all lower case letters.  This does not 
follow the recommended naming convention in the install README. As a result 
this link refers to a non existant directory 'webgoat'.

The Hint in question reads:
Hint: Stage 1: You can access the server directly here to see what results are 
being returned

Steps To Reproduce
1. Install WebGoat making sure the webapp directory in tomcat has the 
capitalization shown in the install docs, i.e. WebGoat, not webgoat

2. Navigate to WebGoat start page, login, press Start WebGoat button

3. Select AJAX Security -> LAB: Client Side Filtering

4. Scroll through the hints until reaching the hint that reads:
Hint: Stage 1: You can access the server directly here to see what results are 
being returned

5. The word 'here' in the hint is a hyperlink to:
http://localhost:8080/webgoat/lessons/Ajax/clientSideFiltering.jsp?userId=102

6. Note the directory 'webgoat' in the URL does not follow the capitalization 
recommended in the WebGoat install documentation. As a result this link is 
broken if users followed the recommend naming convention during install.
