Reported by ssainath in ATLAS-2203:

1. Enabled knox proxy for Atlas.
2. On accessing https://knox_gateway:8443/gateway/ui/atlas/login.jsp , 404 is thrown with the following :
   POST

   https://knox_gateway:8443/gateway/j_spring_security_check
   and

   which should ideally go to

nixonrodrigues investigated this issue and found that a recent commit in Atlas, which changed Jetty version (ATLAS-2186), caused this regression. Here are the details from his investigation:

This regression is caused because the content type of javascript file is changed from application/javascript to application/x-javascript due to recent jetty version change in ATLAS-2186.

lmccay suggested the fix, to update rewrite.xml to recognize content-type */x-javascript as well.
