This will probably be easier than you think. We already have the code in
place to handle "extra path info" URLs. You just need to enable it in
Application.config, then parse the "extraURLPath" property of the Request
object. I suggest handling all this in HTTPRequest.sessionID(). You just
need to add a second place to check for the sessionID, in addition to
values().
