| An endpoint handler of requests passing through WebAppTool and
WebAppToolSink that works in a canonical way - it dispatches
"like-for-like" in that HTTP GETs and POSTs originating from the
client are mapped onto the same, and the remote servlet is
provided with enough context to allow it to compute ultimate
URLs by itself, obviating the need for rewriting.
Individual tool handlers override the adjustRequest
method which is provided with a freely writeable parameter map
object into which should be put any extra parameters required
to deal with the request (e.g. authentication and url base).
