Kan Zhang commented on HADOOP-4284:
-----------------------------------

> Perhaps we need three regexs, with the convention that the first captured 
> group is the URL?

I'm not sure I get your point. The /streamFile servlet retrieves its file path 
from the query string, not from the URL as is the case with the other 2 
servlets.

> Support for user configurable global filters on HttpServer

> HADOOP-3854 introduced a framework for adding filters to filter browser 
> facing urls. Sometimes, there is a need to filter all urls. For example, at 
> Yahoo, we need to open an SSL port on the HttpServer and only accept hsftp 
> requests from clients who can authenticate themselves using client 
> certificate and is authorized according to certain policy file. For this to 
> happen, we need a method to add a user configurable "global" filter, which 
> filters on all client requests. For our purposes, such a global filter will 
> block all https requests except those accessing the hsftp interface (it will 
> let all http requests go through, so accesses through the normal http ports 
> are unaffected). Moreover, those hsftp requests will be subject to further 
> authorization checking according to the policy file.
