Sling POST Servlet: Configuration of Allowed Paths
--------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-2136
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2136
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Servlets
Affects Versions: Servlets Post 2.1.2
Reporter: Andrew Khoury
It would be nice if you could configure rules or regular expressions for paths
the sling post servlet is allowed to work under. This would be good for both
security reasons and for protecting against conflicts with other servlets.
For example:
Let's say you have a servlet ReplicationServlet registered to receive POST
requests under path /bin/replicate.
However, during startup, before the ReplicationServlet component has been
enabled, a user tries to do a POST to /bin/replicate. In this case, instead of
executing the ReplicationServlet, the POST servlet is executed and it creates a
node under /bin/replicate. Now, as long as the node /bin/replicate exists...
the ReplicationServlet will not be executed for requests to /bin/replicate.
This presents a problem and explains the necessity for this feature.
