java.lang.Object | +--sunlabs.brazil.proxy.HistoryFilter
The HistoryFilter is both a Handler and a
Filter that keeps a record of all pages visited by a
given session.
The HistoryFilter can be used to
make a user's session "mobile" as follows: A user's history
is normally stored with the browser being used, on the user's machine.
If the user runs a different browser or goes to a different machine, the
user's history will not be there. Instead, the user can access the web
via a proxy that keeps track of their history. No matter which browser
the user chooses or machine the user is at, a server running with the
HistoryFilter will automatically remember and be able to
present the user's history.
The history is kept with respect to a Session ID.
This filter uses the following configuration properties:
prefix
session
nosession
admin
HistoryFilter
to store the history information for the current Session in the
request properties
filter
Regexp pattern to match
against the "Content-Type" of the result. Setting this also implies
that the HistoryFilter will be invoked as a
Filter and not a Handler. The default
value is "", which indicates that the "Content-Type" is not
examined and that this HistoryFilter will be invoked
as a Handler.

public boolean init(Server server,
String prefix)
It is an error if the filter is specified but malformed.
init in interface Handlerserver - The HTTP server.prefix - The configuration property prefix.
true if this filter initialized successfully,
false otherwise.public boolean respond(Request request)
admin prefix is seen, store the history
information associated with the session in the request properties.
If invoked as a Handler and the URL matches the
prefix, records this page's address in the history.
respond in interface Handlerrequest - The Request object that represents the HTTP
request.
false, indicating that this respond
method ran purely for its side effects.
public boolean shouldFilter(Request request,
MimeHeaders headers)
Filter. If the URL matches the
prefix and the returned "Content-Type" matches the
filter, records this page's address in the history.
shouldFilter in interface Filterrequest - The in-progress HTTP request.headers - The MIME headers from the result.
false indicating that this Filter
does not want to modify the content.
public byte[] filter(Request request,
MimeHeaders headers,
byte[] content)
filter in interface Filterrequest - The finished HTTP request.headers - The MIME headers generated by the Handler.content - The output from the Handler that this
Filter may rewrite.
Filter may return
the original content unchanged. The
Filter may return null to indicate
that the FilterHandler should stop processing the
request and should not return any content to the client.
