All Implemented Interfaces:
  Handler, HandlerContainer, LifeCycle

    public class RewriteHandler

extends HandlerWrapper

Rewrite handler is responsible for managing the rules. Its capabilities is not only limited for URL rewrites such as RewritePatternRule or RewriteRegexRule. There is also handling for cookies, headers, redirection, setting status or error codes whenever the rule finds a match.

The rules can be matched by the either: pattern matching of PathMap (eg `PatternRule`), regular expressions (eg `RegexRule`) or certain conditions set (eg `MsieSslRule` - the requests must be in SSL mode).

The rules can be grouped into rule containers (class `RuleContainer`), and will only be applied if the request matches the conditions for their container (e.g., by virtual host name)

The list of predefined rules is:

- `CookiePatternRule` - adds a new cookie in response.
- `HeaderPatternRule` - adds/modifies the HTTP headers in response.
- `RedirectPatternRule` - sets the redirect location.
- `ResponsePatternRule` - sets the status/error codes.
- `RewritePatternRule` - rewrites the requested URI.
- `RewriteRegexRule` - rewrites the requested URI using regular expression for pattern matching.
- `MsieSslRule` - disables the keep alive on SSL for IE5 and IE6.
- `LegacyRule` - the old version of rewrite.
- `ForwardedSchemeHeaderRule` - set the scheme according to the headers present.
- `VirtualHostRuleContainer` - checks whether the request matches one of a set of virtual host names.

Here is a typical jetty.xml configuration would be:
