Justin Edelson commented on SLING-2136:
---------------------------------------
The servlet at /testing/PathsServletNodeServlet is responsible for creating a
node at /testing/PathsServlet/foo. So the paths aren't meant to be the same.
Admittedly, the test could be written in a clearer fashion :)
> 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
> Attachments: post_servlet_filter-1205238.patch

> 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.
