Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3854:
--------------------------------------

Sorry, one more idea.  The constant PUBLIC_FACING_URLS is fragile.  If someone 
adds another servlet that's intended to be public-facing, subject to filters, 
then it will not automatically be added to this.  I propose limiting this 
constant to non-servlet stuff like "*.html" and "*.jsp", then modify 
HttpServer#addServlet() to add a boolean isFiltered parameter, deprecating the 
existing signature.  Then each added servlet must declare whether it's filtered 
or not, which should reduce surprises.

Also, I don't see the point of passing the filter configs to the ctor.  
Shouldn't we just always create the filters automatically from the config?  We 
need to add a Configuration parameter to HttpServer for this, but that seems 
better than a FilterConfiguration[] parameter, since 
'FilterConfiguration.getFilterConfigurations(conf)' won't be duplicated so 
much, and it would permit further configuration of HttpServer in the future.

> Filters provide universal functions such as authentication, logging and 
> auditing, etc.  HttpServer should support configurable filters, so that 
> individual site administrators could possibly configure filters for their web 
> site.
