[jetty-users] challenge with rewrite rule for request headers

[Daniel Julius <Daniel.Julius@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Together,

 

I'm using Jetty 12 with the rewrite module to modify request headers. The configuration works perfectly, but I need the request header replacement to only occur for a specific URI pattern. Note that I'm specifically working with request headers, not response headers.

Here's my current jetty-rewrite-rules.xml

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure_10_0.dtd">

<Configure id="RewriteHandler" class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.RewriteHandler">

  <Set name="rules">

    <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.Rule">

     

      <Item>

        <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.RuleContainer">

 

          <Set name="rules">

            <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.Rule">

             

              <!-- Set Content-Type header -->

              <Item>

                <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.ForceRequestHeaderValueRule">

                  <Set name="headerName">Content-Type</Set>

                  <Set name="headerValue">application/soap+xml</Set>

                </New>

              </Item>

             

            </Array>

          </Set>

        </New>

      </Item>

     

    </Array>

  </Set>

</Configure>

 

The current configuration successfully replaces the Content-Type request header with application/soap+xml, but it applies to all requests.

I want to restrict this header modification to only occur when requests match a specific URI pattern, such as /soap/* or /api/v1/soap.

 

I don't want to use a servlet or custom filter for this, I just want to use the configuration via XML.

Is there a possibility?

 

Thanks!

 

Kind regards

Daniel Julius
