URL Rewrite for Web Player

Some folder names in the Spotfire library contain spaces, and this makes the URL not clear to read when it comes to the path. I would like to replace the spaces with an underscore. A communication would be sent to our users in order to update their bookmarks, but to avoid any inconvenience, some URL rewriting in place would great. A related report could show the hits on the "old" URL and the new one, knowing when to stop the specified URL rewriting. It could be set on a folder level, sub-folder or even file names maybe.

    You can use the rewrite module of Tomcat to setup URL rewrite rules. You can tweak the rules so that only URL's with specific folder names will be re-written for instance.

    You can see here, how you can active the Tomcat re-write valve in Spotfire:

    Here's more information on how to setup Tomcat rewrites:

    Additional feature could be an eventual message for users of the Web Player to be aware that the report link had changed...
