My current 'preference' is to use r->uri, as in the main branch ( and how
it used to be ). That keeps rewrite working and is consistent with most
apache modules.
The downside is that we're on the edge of the spec, which require the
'original' URI. However, since HTTP seem to allow proxies to alter
(normalize) the URI, on some server the 'original' URI is not
available, and the servlet spec covers only the servlet container, not the
web server - and we'll keep whatever enter the servlet container
unchanged - I believe using r->uri is a decent solution.
If the servlet spec would be interpreted to mean 'the URI that the user
typed' - then I believe that's impossible to implement anyway ( at least
on browser alters that ).
I'm not very sure - but beeing consistent across the servers and
consistent with what other modules and server-side programs are doing
seems a good argument.
