I was tasked with writing a web application that needs to forward a http request to each server after checking certain headers. Of course I can use a library like apache http client to reconstruct and send the data. But if you think about it, this is a very unreasonable and bad way.
Suppose you need to forward a request that uploads a 100 mega file. To forward this, once the servlet receives it as an object, the server memory is already reduced. Couldn't Servlet Engine check and pass only a few headers and pass it in stream format? Even if it is not the above example, I think the servlet may have the ability to have it in a raw state or to return it, like the request strings sent to telnet. I think it would be great if this could be supported by the servlet engine itself. Thank you for reading!
