Description

Hello,

currently we've got a problem with faked ajax requests. these ajax
requests misses some parameters, but the wicket-ajax header flag is set.
So ServletWebRequest throws an exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Current ajax request is missing the base url header or parameter
at org.apache.wicket.util.lang.Checks.notNull(Checks.java:38)
at org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.servlet.ServletWebRequest.getClientUrl(ServletWebRequest.java:171)
at org.apache.wicket.request.UrlRenderer.<init>(UrlRenderer.java:59)

These faked requests are so massive, that our application is no longer
monitorable. Our workaround rejects these requests via apache config.

Instead of logging an exception, in deployment mode wicket should log a warning and reject the request
