Not much interest in this, apparently, which is fine, but I'm still
interested, so I'll keep going.
I've figured out how to have a Filter, placed in the chain before a
Router, remove double-slashes:
@Override
protected int beforeHandle(Request request, Response response) {
Reference ref = request.getResourceRef();
String originalPath = ref.getPath();
if (originalPath.contains("//"))
{
String newPath = originalPath.replaceAll("//", "/");
ref.setPath(newPath);
}
return Filter.CONTINUE;
}
This works just fine. (I know the regex should probably be more
sophisticated, but this is more about a proof of concept than
production-ready code.) But I'd be interested in having this
functionality be built into the framework; using a syntax something
like:
router.setIgnoreDoubleSlashes(true);
or maybe:
router.setIgnoreCommonTypos(true);
So I'll ask one more time: would anyone else like to see this feature
make it into the API?
