Hi Glen, Yes, the term 'servant' in http jetty module is your mentioned jetty handler.
I think 'servant' comes from the CORBA world. It is the server side object which handles the requests. You can find more detail info from this URL [1]. It must be a new word for the guy who do not use CORBA, I will address your concern by replacing the 'servant' to 'jetty handler'. Thanks for your attention to details.

I don't know what a Jetty "servant" is though--googling that term is returning almost no rows. So I'm not sure that users of this code would understand what a servant is either. Is there a more official term we should use besides "servant"--something that the Jetty team themselves might use? Thanks, Glen
