[jira] [Commented] (TS-3137) Enhance header_rewrite to support set-redirect operator when used in global mode

["Sudheer Vinukonda (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3137?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14206990#comment-14206990 ] 

Sudheer Vinukonda commented on TS-3137:
---------------------------------------

After discussing with [~zwoop] on the IRC, the conclusion is to reuse the existing API for 5.x and defer incorporating body factory use to the future (6.0 at least), until the body factory code is refactored with a generic API to access that from plugins. I will modify the patch accordingly and submit.

> We have a use case to redirect all incoming users of certain type (e.g. old version of certain browsers) to some pre-determined site. 
> header_rewrite supports the set-redirect operator to achieve this, but, currently, this only works on a remap mode. We have a very large number of remap rules (in the order of 20K+), so, supporting set-redirect in global mode would make it easier for operation.
