Please add 303 (See Other) support so urlrewritefilter can be used with Linked Data use cases #94

What steps will reproduce the problem?

This tool would be extremely useful for Linked Data if you added support for 
HTTP 303 (See Other) redirects.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The behavior of 303 (See Also) should be identical to the 301 
("permanent-redirect") and 302 ("temporary-redirect"). The difference is subtle 
but essential for Linked Data applications. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

3.2

Please provide any additional information below.

More information about the use of HTTP 303 can be found in this document: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/.

You can always use a workaround:
<rule>
  <from>/see/other/.*</from>
  <run class="com.example.Redirector" />
</rule>

package com.example;
public class Redirector {
  public void run(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_SEE_OTHER);
    response.setHeader("Location", "http://example.com/somewhere/else");
  }
}

Thanks for the hint. Getting this to work with urlrewritefilter 3.2 and Tomcat 
7.0.16 required some extreme voodoo, though: 

<rule>
  <from>/see/other/.*</from>
  <run class="com.example.Redirector" />
  <to>Random but required garbage</to>
</rule>

package com.example;
public class Redirector {
  public void run(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    String location = "http://example.com/somewhere/else";
    response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_SEE_OTHER);
    response.setHeader("Location", location);
    response.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    String entityBody = "See Other: " + location;
    response.setContentLength(entityBody.length());
    response.getOutputStream().write(entityBody.getBytes());
  }
}

I submitted changes to implement a SeeOther redirect in issue 124.  I probably 
should have put the changes here...
