Description
This is a follow-up to HADOOP-5366. Currently simple HTTP GET support only works for tomcat-based proxy and only when it is set up to proxy for multiple HDFS clusters (see HADOOP-5363). This feature supports users using commonly available HTTP clients like wget or curl to fetch files from proxy. It would be good to port this feature to both Jetty and Tomcat based proxies in cases where the proxy is set up to proxy for a single HDFS cluster. Note that currently Jetty-based proxy can't be set up to proxy for multiple HDFS clusters.
