                 Key: CAMEL-766
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-766
             Project: Apache Camel
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: camel-core, camel-cxf, camel-http, camel-jetty, camel-jhc
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: William Tam
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.5.0


We have explored some ideas of how one may retreive protocol headers from of a 
Camel message in this thread: 
http://www.nabble.com/-PROPOSAL--ProtocolMessage-to18078001s22882.html#a18078001.
  In summary, there were two train of thoughts: 1) set aside a place for 
"ProtocolHeaders" in Camel message which is strictly for storing what a 
component recognizes as protocol headers.  A component can still select some or 
all of these protocol headers to be copied to/from the native message header.  
2) Using the current headers in Camel message and let people configure what 
should be copied to/form native message.

I thought about both approaches a bit.  I went with the later and created a 
patch.  I guess the problem with the first approach is it introduces one more 
place to look for headers.   We may end up forcing components examine both 
places for processing information.  

In my patch, I create a HeaderFilterStrategy that can control what to copy 
in/out Camel message headers.  A component can be injected with a strategy by 
Spring or using APIs.  I modified the following components to use this 
strategy: jms, cxf, http, jetty, and jhc.  Please review my patch and will 
update other components based on feedbacks.
