> NIFI-1554 has moved /nifi-api/controller to /nifi-api/site-to-site/ .
> However, Site-to-Site client is not updated yet, and it still sends a request 
> to /nifi-api/controller to obtain information for Site-to-Site. 
> {code:title=EndpointConnectionPool.java}
>     private ControllerDTO refreshRemoteInfo() throws IOException {
>         final boolean webInterfaceSecure = 
> clusterUrl.toString().startsWith("https");
>         final NiFiRestApiUtil utils = new NiFiRestApiUtil(webInterfaceSecure 
> ? sslContext : null);
>         final ControllerDTO controller = utils.getController(apiUri + 
> "/controller", commsTimeout);
> {code}
> We can simply change the URL to "/site-to-site", but if we do so, old version 
> of NiFi won't be able to communicate with the new version of NiFi via 
> Site-to-Site.
> Possible approaches to provide backward compatibility are:
> * A. keep the old endpoint and let it respond with 301 Moved Permanently
> * B. add a ContainerRequestFilter to modify requested url
> * C. Jetty Rewrite Handler 
> http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/rewrite-handler.html
> Similarly when new version of NiFi tries to communicate with old version of 
> NiFi, it has to send request to /controller, instead of /site-to-site. For 
> this scenario, adding retry logic in new version of SIte-to-SIte client would 
> be sufficient.
> # Send request to /site-to-site
> # If response code is 404 or 405, then retry sending request to /controller
