Class SupplyHandler

public class SupplyHandler extends Object implements Handler

Sample Handler for dispatching different users to different url's based on a special http authentication header. This is a re-implementation of the supplier.net content server using the new server apis (e.g. its not used for anything anymore). This handler was originally designed to be a "virtual web site", where credentials are passed in from an upstream proxy. Those credentials are used to provide different views based on the particular credentials supplied. The following configuration properties are used:
mapFile
properties file
prefix
url prefix
default
default map
header
http header (authentication)
realm
The authentication realm (basic)
