Okay, I figured out how to get this from @Context HttpHeaders, what I can't
figure out is the simplest/cleanest way to replace HTTP with this value
(say HTTPS) in a path from UriInfo.getAbsolutePathBuilder. I would like to
do the equivalent of this:
String fowardedProto = headers.getHeaderString( "x-forwarded-proto" );
String protocol = fowardedProto == null ? "http" : fowardedProto;
URI seeOtherLocation = uriInfo.getAbsolutePathBuilder().protocol( protocol
).path( userId.toString() ).build();
But of course there is no simple "protocol" method in UriBuilder. So what's
the best way?
