Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-381:
--------------------------------------------

Tobias
We could consider deprecating HttpAsyncRequestHandlerMapper in favor of a 
similar interface that also takes HttpContext as a parameter but wound not it 
be easier to extract those parameters from the handler? Are we only trying to 
avoid an additional regex match operation here?

> It is a common use case to use a custom HttpAsyncRequestHandlerMapper 
> implementation to match the URLs against a list of regular expressions. Often 
> these regular expressions include capture groups that can be used to extract 
> parameters from the URL.
> In `/user/(\d+)/profile` for example the group can be extracted and converted 
> to an integer. While the HttpAsyncRequestHandlerMapper implementation already 
> does the regex matching, it has no place to save the matching results since 
> the HttpContext is not passed to the mapper.
> The naive way to fix this is to include the HttpContext in the lookup() 
> method interface, but unfortunately that would be a breaking change. I hope 
> that someone is able to come up with a better solution for this.
> This issue is to some degree related to 
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-308
