--- Comment #3 from mgrigorov <mgrigo...@apache.org> ---
The problem here is how to recognize that a request parameter contains
sensitive information.
'j_password' is name defined in specs, so it is easy to handle.
But an application is free to use any names for its form elements and it is
impossible for the web server to decide whether something contains sensitive
data or not.
So hiding the value of `j_password` is a very special case that would solve
just some of the cases.

On the other side someone may want to see the plain value of such parameter to
be able to debug an issue related to the authentication.
