ExtensionsFilter should not buffer data for certain content-types
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TOMAHAWK-1177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-1177
Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ExtensionsFilter
Affects Versions: 1.1.6
Reporter: Simon Kitching
Priority: Minor
Currently, ExtensionsFilter arranges for all data generated by a request to be
buffered. Then after the request is complete it checks the content-type http
header and skips any further processing if the type is not "text/html" or
similar.
Maybe the response-wrapper class could catch the start of response data
writing, check its headers (which will be complete at that time) and then for
non-html responses just stream the data directly rather than buffer it. This
will save time and memory usage when a request to a .jsf url causes a non-html
response to be returned. This isn't very often, but sometimes people do
generate pdfs etc as a result of a jsf postback.
