Base AssetServlet on Jetty's DefaultServlet?

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I noticed some issues about the AssetServlet’s missing functionalities (e.g., #1750) and myself was wondering how to activate the exploitation of pre-gzipped assets as handled by Jetty’s DefaultServlet (instead of doing on the fly gzipping).

I was wondering if it wouldn’t make sense to base AssetServlet’s on DefaultServlet directly… I have no idea how hard it would be, but for sure people would enjoy the extra functionalities it provides!

Thanks for outlining your findings, @victornoel.

It sounds like it would make sense to modify AssetServlet to extend DefaultServlet rather than HttpServlet. I think that an initial PR making this change should simply mimic the existing functionality of AssetServlet. We can then start to leverage the additional functionality of DefaultServlet in future changes, if it makes sense to do so.

I’m not familiar with Jetty’s notion of “welcome files/servlets”, but based on the Javadoc, it sounds feasible to implement AssetServlet’s index file behavior in terms of welcome files.
