Hi,

I hope you do not get me wrong here but still have to ask. Does it
worth reinventing the wheel? Pax Web is already built based on jetty6
ad is ASLv2. Maybe I is good to have the Felix http service remain on
Jetty so the we get a wider selection, and spend the effort if
possible on improving Pax Web in regards to Jetty 6.

Anyhow, Felx if you need support on Jetty 6 just let me know.

Alin
