To be 100% sure, I'll verify this with the sped lead, Ron Monzillo. Indeed,
I noticed earlier that Undertow was unable to write to the response at that
point. You're right that the test isn't fully clear on this, and I already
wanted to split it up in a "secureResponse called" (tested via some other
method) and "able to write to the response from secureResponse".

My feeling says Undertow should not have closed the writer at this point
and writing to the response should be possible. It's what the RI allows and
what each and every other server including JBoss EAP 6 allows.

I'm not sure this is correct. secureResponse is not called whenever the
buffer is full, but only after the (Servlet) resource has been invoked
(meaning, after the target Servlet has executed and control returns from
the last Filter).

One usecase for this is capturing the response fully via a wrapped
response, and then in secureResponse, well, securing this in some way
(perhaps encrypting it). As such it's quite like how a GZIP filter
functions. Clearly the SAM has to be able to write to the response at that
point.

As said, to be 100% sure I'll verify this with Ron.

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
