[Jetty-support] Re: Can I add a trailer in Jetty 5.1.10?

[Greg W. <gr...@mo...>]

David,

To my knowledge, you're the only user of trailers that I've heard of!
I removed them because I thought nobody used them!

Can you tell me a bit more about how you are using them and what
client you have that accepts them?

I will have to consider if I will re-add them to Jetty 5 or
perhaps push you to consider Jetty 6 and re-add them there!

cheers

I see from the release notes that support for trailers was removed from 5.0. Is this permament? Trailers are very useful for me to pass a checksum/data hash for verification of chunked data.
