Patch to fix usabillity issues with the rewrite valve
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBWEB-67
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWEB-67
             Project: JBoss Web
          Issue Type: Patch
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Rewrite Valve
    Affects Versions: JBoss Web Server 1.0.0 GA
            Reporter: Rob Hughes
         Assigned To: Mladen Turk
             Fix For: JBoss Web Server 1.0.0 GA
         Attachments: rewrite_valve.patch

I'm providing this patch which fixes the following issues with the rewrite valve and makes it's behavior more consistent with mod_rewrite.
1: Rewrite conditions were not being processed
2: Case insensitive pattern matches were not working
3: Send redirect with an arbitrary code now works and uses reflection to see if the method is available so the valve will still work with standalone tomcat
4: Patterns are no longer forced to match the whole input for conditions and rules
5: The server variable HTTP_HOST included the port if the server wasn't running on the standard ones (80/443)
6: QSA is how handled and query strings are appended where appropriate
7: Comments are now allowed in the rewrite.properties file

The patch is against the jbossweb trunk.
