Oh wow ! You cannot do that, and I'm surprised it even worked in Jetty 9.3 - it probably only does because the content is small. You want to set the response code *before* writing any content via HttpServletResponse#setStatus(). The reason it does not work in 9.4.x is that we have cleaned up the way we handle errors, that was pretty broken in 9.3.x (so I guess your code was working because of a Jetty 9.3.x bug). Have you considered using one of the many Jetty ProxyServlets, or at least HttpClient instead of HttpURLConnection ? -- Simone Bordet ---- http://cometd.org http://webtide.com Developer advice, training, services and support from the Jetty & CometD experts. _______________________________________________ jetty-users mailing list [email protected] To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/jetty-users
