AppContextID of Servlet profile includes name of virtual host; for which Servlet provides no portable api
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JASPIC_SPEC-1
                 URL: http://java.net/jira/browse/JASPIC_SPEC-1
             Project: jaspic-spec
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: monzillo


During programmatic AuthConfigProvider registration - especially
self-registration via

AuthConfigFactory.registerConfigProvider(AuthConfigProvider provider,
                             String layer,
                             String appContextID,
                             String description);

the AuthConfigProvider has no portable way to determine the name of the virtual
host, and thus to register using the same virtual host name that will be used
by the runtime in its call to

AuthConfigFactory.getConfigProvider(String layer, String appContextID,
RegistrationListener listener);

Servlet 3.1 does not intend to provide a portable api by which the name of the
virtual host can be obtained.

this problem was first reported by Arjan Tijms
