Jason,
Mod_proxy does the job as the Host header should be used by all webapps as the basis of generating URLs in responses (and thus hiding the existance of the secondary server and/or port). Jetty uses this header for all the data and URL rewriting that it does, so almost all servlets should work fine behind mod_proxy. If the host header is not used, then those servlets will not work if the client has their own non-transparent proxies or port forwarders. > I don't think that Jetty should try to incorporate all of the features and > functionality of Apache. Instead, allow for JBoss/Jetty to be hooked up to Jetty is firstly and foremost a full featured HTTP/1.1 implementation in Java. Servlets are just a handler within the Jetty architecture. There is value in a 100% java solution: efficiency, simplicity, portability. While apache is a great server it should not be the end of the story when it comes to serving HTTP. While Jetty lacks some bells and whistle it can well support the requirements of almost all HTTP based applications. cheers --- Jason Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was avoiding posting to jetty-discuss right away, as I didn't really do > that much research (short of a few websearches) on the matter. > > Let me clarify though.
