Hi David,
One idea: if you have a frontend proxy (eg. nginx) it can pull out the
customTag, put it in a header which is then passed to GeoServer (eg,
X-David: customTag), and then rewrite the GeoServer URL to /wms. Then you
can access the header from the request object in GeoServer wherever you
need it. If you need the value in responses as well (eg. GetCapabilities
returning URLs including the "customTag" part), then you'll need a
URLMangler implementation to that knows how to rewrite URLs to contain it.
Rob :)
