Re: SolrDispatchFilter and /prefixed request handlers

[Matt Weber]

+1 to remove this piece of code.  I think it is confusing for someone  
new to solr to determine if you need to specify a qt or use a  
different uri.

Why might this bit of code in SolrDispatchFilter be useful?

              if( qt != null && qt.startsWith( "/" ) ) {
                throw new  
SolrException( SolrException.ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST, "Invalid query  
type.  Do not use /select to access: "+qt);
              }


I'd like it better if Solr could handle /solr/select?qt=/ 
whatever&param=value type of queries.  But of course also handle it  
as /solr/whatever?param=value still.

Any objections to me removing the current restriction?
