the default jetty implementation will not give you access to kotlinlang #http4k

the default jetty implementation will not give you access to the certificates. If you really "need" the cert inside your app (rather than just rejecting requests without it), then I suggest using an RequestContext. OTOH, if you just want to reject, you can write a custom Jetty Handler which will do it and just handle it in that layer

So the idea is I only want to accept requests that are signed by a specific certificates provider.

I should do this in a Jetty handler?

Any examples on how to write a custom Jetty handler?

Looking at it, we would do this in Jetty using a standard Servlet so try searching for that (I've never done it personally so can't help). Here's the way in which we do it in the lib: https://github.com/http4k/http4k/blob/master/http4k-core/src/main/kotlin/org/http4k/servlet/servlet.kt

val handlerCollection = HandlerCollection()
handlerCollection.addHandler(HelloHandler())
handlerCollection.addHandler(httpHandler?.toJettyHandler())

Thanks for your help and sorry for bothering you so much.

@Cosmin Victor Celea it's absolutely fine - it's what we're here for (whenever we're not busy scavanging for food in the local plague-ridden wasteland outside 🙂 )
