Description
Describe the bug
I'm trying to add RewriteLocationResponseHeader filter to my application.yml route definition. I'm using the format given in the documentation:
filters:
- RewriteLocationResponseHeader=AS_IN_REQUEST, Location, ,
However, the app startup fails with:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Unable to find operation interface org.springframework.web.servlet.function.HandlerFilterFunction for
rewriteLocationResponseHeader with args {_genkey_0=AS_IN_REQUEST, _genkey_1=Location}
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to tell it to use default values for the last two parameters. I've tried:
RewriteLocationResponseHeader=AS_IN_REQUEST, Location, '', '': this ended up creating a string containing''.RewriteLocationResponseHeader=AS_IN_REQUEST, Location, "", "": this ended up creating a string containing"".RewriteLocationResponseHeader=AS_IN_REQUEST, Location, {}, {}: this ended up creating a string containing{}.
It seems as the code handling the extraction of parameters to the filter does not correctly handle empty strings. Or something along those lines.
The question is: How am I supposed to specify empty strings in app yaml to RewriteLocationResponseHeader?
Sample
I've forked the excellent demo by eyal33 which can be used to demo it. You don't need to setup any Docker stuff, just try to run the app, and the RewriteLocationResponseHeader line will take care of application startup failing.

Research direction
Start with the application.yml route definition and the RewriteLocationResponseHeader filter in the linked sample application. Reproduce the startup failure, then trace how the filter arguments are parsed when the final values are empty. Done means the documented configuration starts successfully and preserves the filter's default values.
