Re: [jetty-users] 206 responses instead of 404?

[Joakim Erdfelt <joakim.erdfelt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jetty 9 is EOL (End of Life).

See: https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/discussions/13984

If you have this problem on a supported version of Jetty (currently Jetty 12.0 or 12.1) then report back.

Note: your javax.servlet webapp will work as-is on Jetty 12, as it has a EE8 support layer for those legacy web apps.

I have a Jetty 9.4 server which I was testing using Skipfish. This
probes the site using queries with Range: headers. I noticed from the
log that non-existent URLs were getting 206 responses instead of the
expected 404. My 404 error page is defined in the web.xml like this:

   <error-page>
     <error-code>404</error-code>
     <location>/404.html</location>
   </error-page>

No filters are being applied to plain HTML pages, so I'm at a loss as to
why this is happening. Any ideas?
