CometD is a library collection that allows developers to write web messaging applications: you can send messages from servers to client, from clients to servers, from clients to other clients (via servers), and from server to server (using its clustering solution). I wrote about these styles of communications in a Read more…
Five years ago we migrated the Jetty project from The Codehaus to the Eclipse Foundation. In that time we have pushed out 101 releases of Jetty 7 and Jetty 8, double that if you count the artifacts that had to remain at the Codehaus for the interim. Four years ago Read more…
I’ll be attending JavaOne Sept 29 to Oct 1 and will be presenting several talks on Jetty: CON2236 Servlet Async IO: I’ll be looking at the servlet 3.1 asynchronous IO API and how to use it for scale and low latency. Also covers a little bit about how we are Read more…
As promised on my last post on HTTP/2, we have implemented and deployed the HTTP/2 Push functionality on this very website, webtide.com. For the other HTTP/2 implementers out there, if you request “/” on webtide.com, you will get “/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js” pushed.

A couple of months ago the CometD Project released its third major version, CometD 3.0.0 (announcement). Since then I wanted to write a blog about this major release, but work on HTTP 2 kept me busy. Today CometD 3.0.1 was released, so it’s time for a new CometD blog entry. Read more…
Following my previous post, several players tried their HTTP/2 implementation of draft 14 (h2-14) against webtide.com.

Having worked many times at implementing specifications, I know that different people interpret the same specification Read more…

Jetty has implemented the proposal already and this website is running Read more…
Greg Wilkins (@gregwilkins) and I (@simonebordet) have been working on implementing HTTP/2 draft 14 (h2-14), which is the draft that will probably undergo the “last call” at the IETF. We will blog very soon with our opinions about HTTP/2 (stay tuned, it’ll be interesting!), but for the time being Jetty Read more…
The httpbis working group of the IETF has release RFC7230 (HTTP/1.1) which obsoletes the long serving RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1), which itself obsoleted the ill fated RFC2068 (HTTP/1.1), which had attempted to replace RFC1945 (HTTP/1.0). So with the 4th version of a HTTP/1.x specification, some might argue that we really should Read more…
