I think I understand what you're saying here and it will probably be necessary for non-Apache web servers anyway. I was thinking more along the lines of:
1. Anything you want to disallow for TC, rewrite to Apache visible filenames and/or URL's (in your example, image files). Apache will then happily serve them. 2. Anything else, rewrite to URL that match something that's in mod_jk's space.
