Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3854:
--------------------------------------
Since authentication is the motivating case, should we add an example for that?
It should, e.g., check to see if the request already specifies credentials,
and only redirect the user when it does not. That way non-user-facing pages
can be easily accessed programmatically by putting the credentials in the
headers. Or is this thought to be obvious enough that we don't need an example?
> org.apache.hadoop.http.HttpServer should support user configurable filter
