Nothing much really.

In org.apache.geronimo.jetty6.connector.HTTPSelectChannelConnector we've
added support for a HTTP header that tells Jetty the request is really
secure (we have a proxy doing the encryption):

    public HTTPSelectChannelConnector(JettyContainer container, ThreadPool
threadPool) {
        super(container, new SelectChannelConnector(){

            @Override
            public void customize(EndPoint endpoint, Request request)
                    throws IOException {
                super.customize(endpoint, request);
                if(HTTPS.equals(request.getHeader(JX_SCHEME)))
                    request.setScheme(HTTPS);
            }

            @Override
            public boolean isConfidential(Request request) {
                if(request.getScheme() != null &&
request.getScheme().equals(HTTPS))
                    return true;
                return super.isConfidential(request);
            }

        }, threadPool, "HTTPSelectChannelConnector");
    }

If you would like to add this to the code base that would be great for us
:-)

We also excluded the org.apache.geronimo.configs.welcome-jetty plugin from
the org.apache.geronimo.plugingroups.javaee5-jetty plugingroup, and added
our Maven repository to the main pom.xml to allow deployment locally.

We used to have some stuff to allow the plugins to run on Java6 but that's
no longer needed. And from time to time we need to change minor stuff, like
we just did with using jetty6 instead of jetty7. I expect the need for this
to go away when the Geronimo 2.2 release is made.
