Custom filters are filters defined by customer's needs. SPS uses custom filters to manipulate a request before forwarding the request to a backend server, and also to manipulate the responses sent by the backend server to the user client.
The SPS can process a single custom filter or a group of custom filters for each request. When you create a custom filter group, the SPS processes all the filters that are part of the custom filter group in a chain.
You can look at the source code for a pre-processing filter and a post-processing filter produced with the filter API. These samples may be found in the following directory:
sps_home/proxy-engine/examples/filters
Note: In the code samples, a backslash (\) character indicates that the line should continue, but must be interrupted due to space constraints in this document.
