---------------------------------------

That's a good suggestion. 
Further, to make it more clear and readable in structure, I would think to make 
ProxyForwardServlet only handle forwarding cases.  Then make a new servlet 
named ProxyFileServlet.java, which is parallel to  ProxyListPathsServlet, 
ProxyFileDataServlet, and ProxyStreamFile. ProxyFileServlet will handle /file 
requests and internally it will make a single redirect request to 
ProxyStreamFile. By doing that, we move the support to "/file" requests to each 
proxy version (18, 20, 21, etc) instead of the forwarding part.  Then the 
forwarding functionality will be independent of each proxy versions and can be 
deployed in a standalone fashion.
