[catalina] http 1.1 support
Hi all,
I have been browsing through the archives to try and determine the state of
http 1.1 support. From what I can tell its almost done or its complete.
Could someone confirm this for me?

Tomcat 3.x nightly builds are zero K
Posted by Daniel Kehoe <ke...@fortuity.com>.
The nightly builds for the Tomcat 3.x Development Tree are all 0K in size.
I followed the link "Tomcat 3.x Development Tree" on the
"Binary Downloads" page at
http://jakarta.apache.org/downloads/binindex.html
I wanted to try a newer build than TC3.2b6.

The Tomcat 4 version of JDBCRealm was ported before these properties were added to the
3.x version. I'd be happy to commit a patch to bring this up to date if anyone would
volunteer to create it ....

[catalina] JDBCRealm connectionName and connectionPassword
Posted by Daniel Kehoe <ke...@fortuity.com>.
JDBCRealm in TC3.2b took a connectionName and connectionPassword from the
server.xml file but these are gone in Catalina's JDBCRealm.
I used HypersonicSQL previously with TC3.2b2 and it worked fine with the
following:
driverName="org.hsql.jdbcDriver"
connectionURL="jdbc:HypersonicSQL:../webapps/weblock/web-inf/db/authori
connectionURL="jdbc:HypersonicSQL:../webapps/weblock/web-inf/db/authority"
connectionName="sa"
connectionPassword=""
There seems to be no way to pass connectionName and connectionPassword to
TC4.0m2
and I get an exception when TC4.0m2 starts:
java.sql.SQLException: User not found
thrown at JDBCRealm line 649

Not a problem. Tomcat shouldn't choke on user errors -- it should (gently :-)
point them out. Here's at least one more case where we can save someone else the
head scratching ...

It's there now, and will be in m3 as soon as I build it.

Thanks, it was my error. I copied the tag from a TC3.2b2 server.xml file
without changing the tag name from RequestInterceptor to Realm.

Yes, a logfile message will help anyone else who is as careless as me! How
about "Realm not found, check your server.xml file."

The particular line in question (like 195 of FormAuthenticator) reads like this:
principal = realm.authenticate(username, password);
which should only throw an NPE if you have not configured a realm for this webapp
(or for the enclosing <Host> or <Engine> in your server.xml file. Could you check
that file, and/or post it to the list so we can look at it?
I'm going to add some validation logic to ensure that a Realm is available if you
have specified any sort of authentication -- you'll get an informative logfile
message and everyone will be refused access (better safe than sorry ...)

It should support everything that is needed for compliance, but there are a
number of things which could be done better.
For example :
- Connection timeouts need improvements.
- Trailing headers are ignored (you have to parse the whole request body to
get them). I really don't know how to handle this.
- Digest auth support is independent from HTTP/1.1, and is supported. The
implementation could be improved for additional security (it doesn't use the
counters ...).
- Optimizations ...
All these items will be addressed in the future. If you find any outstanding
problems in the connector, please let me know and I'll fix it.

Do you mean Digest authentication, as described in RFC 2617 (and defined as
optional in the servlet spec)? Yes, that is supported, along with BASIC,
form-based, and client certificate authentication.

Remy would be able to answer for sure as to the state of completeness, but the
HTTP/1.1 connector in Tomcat 4.0 (org.apache.catalina.connector.http) seems to
do all the 1.1-ish things I've tried with it. Are there particular 1.1
features you are interested in?
