I just commented on the issue as well but please retry with the latest
version of felix (or even better, on trunk) as I think this should be
fixed already.

This one has been applied to trunk (as you mention below). We are
planning a bugfix release so we might be able to  look into
backporting.

Please try it under load and see whether it is fixed. Reopen if not.

Again, I don't think it is strange (the urlhandlers are a minefield)
but I have high hopes that it should be fixed by now. Please retry and
let me know.

We are planning a bugfix release and will look into your issues and
whether we can port them back or not. I don't think FELIX-712 would
need to wait for 2.0 but I have to discuss this with richard first.
Please try to look into verifying the issues I commented on asap so
that we know what to include or not.
