    Daniel, thank you.

    After your post I reread the hosting support info regarding jsp.
    <quote>
    ...as JSP angine Tomcat is used, connected through AJP13 connector
       and mod_jk to Apache...
    </unquote>

    I finally get it.
    It is not Tomcat that refuses to deliver servlets,
    those requests are filtered in Apache somehow. Can i 'fake' a servlet
    as jsp and get away with it?
    That is - can I write a servlet that does not get filtered?

    I am thankful for all input.
