CheckForUpdatesFilter can cause deadlock
----------------------------------------

                 Key: TAPESTRY-1571
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1571
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.0.5
            Reporter: Ben Sommerville


CheckForUpdatesFilter will cause a deadlock in the following circumstances.
1) Initial request is received and processing starts  (CheckForUpdatesFilter 
read lock obtained)
2) Request processing triggers another http request to the same application
3) Nested request is received
4) CheckForUpdatesFilter determines it is time to check for file updates
5) CheckForUpdatesFilter tries to obtain write lock
6) Deadlock: Nested request is blocked waiting for read lock held by parent 
request to be released.

This is an unusual situation, generally I wouldn't try to to access a page via 
http whilst trying to process another request.  However I ran across this 
problem whilst using a third party library (JasperReports) that referenced 
resources via http links.  

Although uncommon, I believe Tapestry should be able to handle this without 
deadlocking
