Jetty 12.0.6 · org.eclipse.jetty.client.ProtocolHandler

A protocol handler performs HTTP protocol operations on behalf of the application, typically like a browser would.

A typical example is handling HTTP redirects. HttpClient could just return the redirect response to the application, but the application would have to implement the redirect functionality (while browsers do this automatically).
