[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3951) Add security restrictions for www/ static file hosting

Add security restrictions for www/ static file hosting
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3951
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3951
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: David Winslow
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
         Attachments: www-security.patch

Since we already have a security filter that applies based on URL paths, we could easily add support for password-protecting static files hosted through GeoServer's www/ directory. This could be a nice way of ensuring that a password prompt shows up before OpenLayers starts requesting tiles, for example.

Patch attached.
