--------------------------------------
This is exactly the change I need, and was contemplating a patch for local use.
This ticket seems to have languished for over a year, though.
> Extension-friendly HttpSource
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-2782
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2782
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.6.0, v1.5.2
> Reporter: Luca Rosellini
> Labels: HTTP, Source
> Attachments: extensible-flume-HttpSource.patch
>
>
> This patch allows third-party to developers extend HttpSource behavior
> easily, without having to reimplement the whole thing.
> More specifically:
> * Adds an hook to customize {{org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.Context}}.
> * Delegates the HttpServlet instance creation to a protected factory method.
> * Changes FlumeHttpServlet visibility to {{protected}}, to let third party
> developers extend from it.
> * Adds an hook in {{FlumeHTTPServlet}} to customize {{HttpServletResponse}}
> before it is flushed.
> We developed this patch because we had to add a custom servlet filter to the
> Jetty context.
> Having this patch applied, a third-party developer could easily extend
> {{HttpSource}} like this:
> {code:title=CustomHTTPSource.java|borderStyle=solid}
> public class CustomHTTPSource extends HTTPSource {
> @Override
> protected void customizeServletContext(Context context) {
> super.customizeServletContext(context);
> context.addFilter(MyCustomHttpServletFilter.class,"/*",0);
> }
> @Override
> protected HttpServlet getServlet() {
> return new KeedioFlumeHTTPServlet();
> }
> protected class KeedioFlumeHTTPServlet extends FlumeHTTPServlet{
> @Override
> protected void customizeServletResponse(HttpServletRequest request,
> HttpServletResponse response) {
> super.customizeServletResponse(request, response);
> response.addHeader("Accept-Encoding","...");
> }
> }
> }
> {code}
