Description

Currently developing against a REST service with a reverse proxy layer running on a local jetty server within maven (mvn jetty:run).

The project is currently depending on this ReverseProxyServlet. We need this fixed badly!

When performing a PUT to the REST server the following error occurs:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPut cannot be cast to org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost
