Description

The links under https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/ScalaHttpFilters#Using-filters are broken.
The links for these components:

  • GzipFilterComponents
  • CSRFComponents
  • CORSComponents
  • SecurityHeadersComponents
  • AllowedHostsComponents

https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/api/scala/play/index.html seems to be missing the classes from play-filters-helpers jar

Research direction

Start with the ScalaHttpFilters.md section at the documented Using-filters URL and compare its five component links with the generated Scala API page. Confirm how the play-filters-helpers classes are expected to appear, then make the links resolve to GzipFilterComponents, CSRFComponents, CORSComponents, SecurityHeadersComponents, and AllowedHostsComponents.
