The requirements for such a patch would need to be well-specified. Otherwise, you might have a security problem on your hands (DefaultServlet serves files other than those requested? This could be construed as a way around the <security-constraint>s in web.xml). I think a Filter is the right way to do things for the time being. In fact, you could even have the filter wrap the original request and tell the DefaultServlet that the filename is different. That way, you don't have to write your own stream-copying code, and things like "Range" headers should still work, but things get hairy with "Range" and not-so-transparent compression :) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkv2skYACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBeXQCeLIVTzZwNCBey6BGS9pVKFBv4 aqsAoJfk8iEVAWAqzOoMTwWADK5sA0u3 =A+vp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
