Description Jesse McConnell CLA 2011-12-19 15:58:29 EST 
When the rewrite handler is not the best configuration, we ought to look into seeing if we can adapt the rewrite setup we have to work as a rewrite filter

not sure if it would direct adapt or not, but opening this bug to put it on the radar

Problem with rewrite filter is that the request is read only via the servlet API... but I guess with a bit of classloading magic it could access the base request and jetty API.

Having worked on the rewrite handler recently, making this functionality a filter will be too difficult to do in general.   It is far simpler to make special purpose filters for whatever dispatching is needed.
