This is rather a disclaimer ;-) I really did not test for potential security 
threats when using this feature, I don't know what happens if the URL contains 
sequences like ../../...
Nor did I do performance tests.
The primary goal was to fix the "serve modules without publishing" feature of 
eclipse which used to work with tc6 but was broken with tc7.

Probably, but since the "Serve modules without publishing feature" of eclipse 
works as is, there was no point in touching this...
If there's really some demand, I could have a look at it.
