-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All,
At the ApacheCon NA Tomcat meetup back in November, there was general interest in seeing some example servlet Filters in the Tomcat examples directory. I said I'd write some. It's time to put my money where my mouth was. I have the following filters already in my current project would could be edited a bit and put into Tomcat's examples. Is there any interest in the following: 1. BrokenLocaleFilter -- fixes Opera 9's non-spec-compliant Accept-Language locale formatting (O9 uses en_US instead of en-us) 2. EncodingFilter -- sets request's character encoding when the client does not specify one. I think this is already in Tomcat -- I'll check 3. CredentialFilter -- looks for a Printipal in the request and a missing User object in the HttpSession, and loads a User from (wherever) and puts it into the session. Essentially, this allows a webapp to do a "real" "login" after contained-manager authentication has done its job. 4. HttpResponseSplittingPreventionFilter -- prevents HTTP response headers from containing CR or LF characters (features response wrapping) I also have this one sitting around. I think I wrote it on a dare for the tomcat-user list: 5. HttpConversationRecorderFilter -- this captures an entire HTTP request and response and dumps them to (somewhere -- currently stdout) after the request completes. Features wrapping the request and response objects. Features massive buffering (!) I'd also be happy to try my hand at other filters the community thinks would be generally useful as well as educational. Thanks, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7zpw8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PC87wCfUqT2rn83g3miyalYhzXt+TrW rKEAoILKA84pY1y94FABCRC/CQjL4sqa =Sg/h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
