[Mike Millson (JIRA)]

Allow rewriting URLs for other contexts
---------------------------------------

                 Key: JBWEB-181
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-181
             Project: JBoss Web
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: JBossWeb-2.1.7.GA
            Reporter: Mike Millson
            Assignee: Remy Maucherat


Line 1537 of o.a.c.c.Response.doIsEncodeable()[1] checks that the URL context matches the webapp context:

if ((file == null) || !file.startsWith(contextPath))
    return (false);

There are use cases where a URL would need to be rewritten but not be the same context as the webapp. In addition, Weblogic apparently does not make this check, so it is an issue migrating from Weblogic.

Can we remove this check, or add a flag where it can be configured to be removed?
