Tomcat 8.0.44 Doesn't seem to support this

[savas-guven]

The Latest Tomcat Web App is based on 8.0.44 in Azure Marketplace.
I managed to get the Tomcat Manager access, and cURL APIs enabled.

Unfortunately the "Deploy to Apache Tomcat Task" seems to perform an unsupported call:

When I reproduce it locally (from my windows desktop) I get the same error, checking it in Fiddler revealed that update=true option is not recognized.

Removing it doesn't help either. Interestingly enough using Tomcat Manager I was not able to deploy my WAR file.

I simply FTP it over.
Disappointing..
