New issue 58 by avlesh: Add follow-redirect support type=proxy
http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/issues/detail?id=58
Currently, for <to type="proxy" ..> rules, the filter does not follow
redirects. Underlying http client allows a configurable property called
followRedirects to let the end user choose a behavior.
URF should expose this property as an option in the <to> part of the rule;
something on these lines -
<rule>
<from>^/my-own-google.html$</from>
<to type="proxy" followRedirects="true">http://google.com</to>
</rule>
A "maxNumberOfRedirects" property might be additionally supported.

I would love to see support for this as well.

Adding a patch to support redirection in proxy type rules. The property to
control
this is behavior is "followRedirects". Just to keep in sync with the
original, i.e.
mod_rewrite's [P] flag, this property defaults to false. To avoid infinite
loops, I
have added another configurable property, "maxRedirects" which defaults to
3. Both
these properties are used only when a <to> is of type="proxy".
Use it as follows -
<rule>
<from>/my-page</from>
<to type="proxy" followRedirects="true"
maxRedirects="2">http://www.google.com</to>
</rule>
The patch is largely untested.
I'll add a revised one shortly with test cases and changes in documentation
etc.
