Hi Jody,
Sorry for the delay in the reply.
Regarding the documentation, yes this is not easy to document ... I will
have to use a lot of examples.
By the way, this module includes an UI which helps design and manage the
rules (it is also possible to test the rules in the UI).
No changes in the core will be required.
I have used the GeoServerFilter and ExtensionPriority extension points,
basically I wrap the HttpServeletRequest with a custom wrapper that will
provide the transformed request info.
The work is pretty much done ... tomorrow I will do a pull request for this.
Regards,
