Description

Something I've occasionally found useful in the request generator when using the
standard J2EE container security was to add the currently logged in user's ID
(from request.remoteUser()). It doesn't necessarily get sent with every
request, depending on the container and whether or not the request is for a
protected page, but it's usually set on requests for secured HTML pages.

I'm attaching the (fairly trivial) patch I used to add this, taken against the
current SVN trunk.
