Re: [jetty-users] Jetty 7 upgrade issue

[Greg Wilkins <gregw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tony,

I've had a quick look and it should be pretty simple to
write.

You need to create a ConnectConnection that is really just
a simplification of WebSocketConnection.  Instead of a
parser/generator it will just have the buffers and will
copy data through.

You can set this up more or less the same as websocket,
but you need to send a 200 response first and then set
the response status to 101.

The advantage of this approach is that it will be
asynchronous and will not need threads.... well you might
use 1 thread to handle the outbound connection, if you
don't want to do an async handler for that.

Do you think you will have a go at implementing this?

cheers
