Re: [jetty-discuss] Jetty proxy functionality

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

Silvio,

all the basic bit are there and ready to be integrated:

 + There is a proxy servlet that can handle normal proxy requests
   using standard URLConnection stuff.

 + There is the HttpClient, which is now seeing use in several other
   projects and should be considered usable at least.  So asynchronous
   client is available.

So these need to be combined to produce an async proxy 
and then the issue of SSL connections also needs to be addressed.

However, I am thinking that the needs of a proxy are such that
we should probably break out of the servlet model and go back 
to a proxy handler.

So with a few days work, I'm sure something very exciting and cool
could be put together.....    but struggling to find the few days
work.

Happy to help others do this... or happy to find a project sponsor...

cheers
