Understood. I've got my JNI helmet on.

That's a terrific answer for the immediate project. To justify Jetty long-term 
I need to show what I'd have to do to access ByteBuffers of incoming data and 
supply ByteBuffers of outbound data.

How do I draw ByteBuffers out of an HttpRequest? 

How do I push ByteBuffers into an HttpResponse?

In Request, it looks like Jetty can supply its own ByteBuffers in 
setAttribute(), but it doesn't look like API I should use. It looks like the 
ByteBuffers are just under the skin, maybe in AbstractHttpConnection, but I'm 
hesitant to use them without seeing them in some sort of obviously long-lived 
API. It won't be in the servlet API standard, but is there something in Jetty 
that I can count on not changing release to release?

Thanks,

Dave
