Alon,

i'm perfectly understand your use-case, but what i'm trying to explain is that 
user
never works with /api,

with your previous patch (ForwardServlet) you've got to processing logic with
url /api/events, and context was called /api, 

in this patch url was changed by jboss rewrite rule to /ovirt-engine/api
before it got to processing logic, therefore context is called /ovirt-engine-api
in container (always)

thus container is not aware /api at any time (doesn't matter what url is used
/api or /ovirt-engine/api)

and therefore no need to make cookie available at Path=/, it was needed
only when we where operation on both /api and /ovirt-engine/api and
had nothing in common in these URLs to call it root,

now having Path=/ is unnecessary security breach that makes auth-cookie
available for all apps running in container,

if for some reason it doesn't work, i believe it's due to missing config in 
"rewrite rules".
