Hi Shawn,

I'm replying directly to you since barracudamvc seems to be down again.
That has got to get fixed somehow.

Anyway, I haven't looked at your changes yet, but the idea seems sound.
However, I wouldn't put this in the ApplicationGateway.  I'd put it in a
servlet request filter.  That way, you can enable/disable this via
configuration of web.xml by including or excluding the filter
configuration.  Plus, it doesn't add anything to ApplicationGateway that
doesn't necessarily have anything to do with that class.  The servlet
filter is definitely the way to go.  We could add this to Baracuda as a
standard filter if it proves useful.  Otherwise, you can just use it in
your own codebase enabling the functionality you want without making any
modifications to Barracuda.
