[jetty-dev] Further releases of Jetty 6?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

we are using Jetty 6.1.24-6 on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze). At the same time
we offen have pretty long GET-requests. Strictly speaking, the length
of those requests often exceed 1024 bytes. Inside the request.log, we
observe for those the following erroneous behaviour: the requests are
cut down to a length of 1024 bytes and the subsequent line breaks are
missing. The request logs therefore result into a total mess.

Now, the reason for this behaviour lies with
org.mortbay.jetty.NCSARequestLog. The maximum length of 1024
characters is hardcoded inside this class and its log function
overwrites the __LINE_SEPARATOR for very long requests.

I know that the latter is fixed inside later releases. However for our
purposes it would be good to have a Jetty 6 version where the line
breaks are correct and the maximum length can be steered using a
parameter.

To cut a long story short, do you plan further releases of Jetty 6?
Would you appreciate having a parameter for the maximum request
length? Is the length of 1024 bytes part of the ncsa standard (I
haven't found there anything)?

Thank you very much in advance
Best regards
Jan
