(truncated) An important new probe of the physics of large-scale radio jets is possible with the discovery of resolved X-ray/optical jets. To probe jet energetics and physics generally, and to test the ``Compton/CMB'' interpretation specifically, we propose deep HST imaging of three X-ray/optical jets (PKS~1127--145, PKS~0637--752, 3C~371) and one optical jet (PKS~2201+044), plus Chandra observations of the latter two. The multiwavelength spectra of individual knots differ significantly, as does one jet from another, indicating the need for detailed high-resolution study of more than 1 or 2 jets. Along with the well-observed 3C~273 and M~87 jets, the 4 proposed targets are the only known (or likely) nonthermal X-ray jets readily detected with Chandra and HST.
