proposal: use the latest ajpv12 protocol version or change the protocol name

[Jean-Luc Rochat <jn...@cybercable.fr>]

Hi,

As Jserv 1.1 is now released, it would be nice to adapt the ajpv12
protocol version used in Tomcat *before* the official Tomcat release.
The ajpv12 implementation in Tomcat had been done *before* the JServ 1.1
release, and did not use the 2 additional fields which are used to
authenticate the user with SSL & X509 certificate. So these protocols
are not compatible, even if they have the same name.
I just (yesterday) committed a new version of jserv_ajpv12.c in JServ
CVS tree, which supports :
Ben-SSL, mod_ssl, Raven, StrongHold (it previously made a boo-boo with
Ben-SSL).

I volunteer to do the same for Tomcat. Shall I have a write access on
CVS ?

An alternative to this would be to just rename ajpv12 to ajpv12-b (ie:
create a new protocol for Tomcat), and add it in mod_jserv.
That would even be easier (only change some class names and protocol
name).

Opinions ?

I also want to offer ASAP a support for the 2 different cookie names to
allow a better integration : JServ and Tomcat behind the same apache
server.
