Introduction I’ve talked before about Jetty as an embedded servlet container. Jetty also includes some useful utility servlet implementations, one of which is ProxyServlet. ProxyServlet is a way to create an HTTP or HTTP/S proxy in very few lines of code. Even though it’s part of the Jetty project, it’s modularized to be independent of the Jetty server, so you can use it even in cases where the servlet won’t be run in Jetty.
