[jetty-users] Jetty and Java 8 SSL improvements

Steve,

Do you think it's a big task to implement it? There is a patch from earlier this year in that bug report which might be a good basis.

I'd prefer not to use an SSL stack written in a non-memory safe language. Perhaps I'm swapping one set of problems for another, but a Java SSL implementation seems to mitigate the scariest risks.

Also, I use continuations for long polling, which may not necessarily work that efficiently with all proxies.

It seems like Netty's API is more amenable to supporting SNI https://github.com/grahamedgecombe/netty-sni-example . Maybe swapping to that or using it as a proxy would be a solution.

Thanks.

Ben
