[jira] [Commented] (SLING-2320) Current DOS-prevention for infinity.json can prevent enumeration of children

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2320?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13162978#comment-13162978 ] 

Jeff Young commented on SLING-2320:
-----------------------------------

Note: the patch has SLING-XXXX in it because I thought I had to create it before creating the JIRA issue.  (And then, of course, I forgot to update it before uploading.)

> A request of resource.1.json should always succeed, as it's the primary method for JSON introspection of the repository hierarchy.  DOS protection should only apply to "deep" traversals; that is, anything with a depth greater than 1 (and, in particular, resource.infinity.json).
