Ajpv13 protocol

[Sam Wang <sw...@motive.com>]

Is there a RFC on Ajp protocol? Or any documentation at all?

That's because right now ( AFAIK ) there is no imediate plan for mod_jk. 

It works well enough ( IMHO ), and future enhancements will be made only
if anyone will volunteer to do so. I am willing and interested to help ,
but I'll not start or drive this. 

A possible TODO list:

1. Callbacks - allow tomcat to use more of the servers features, 
like authentication, sub-requests, etc - including configuration
  
2. Performance - do not send the full request, most of the time only few
headers are used and if all are needed we can make a callback. Also, the
request is already parsed by Apache/IIS/NES, so we can skip this on
tomcat.  

3. More work on "in-process/JNI" mode - there is a lot of un-exploited
speed and features out there, including the integration of Interceptors
and server Modules/filters/SAFs. ( that's on my todo list for >1 year, but
I never had the time to start :-(

4. Integration with mod_warp ( when ready ) - mod_warp will add a lot of
new features, and we must find a way to either join the 2 modules. For
example, mod_jk has support for many web servers, and mod_wrap will
support automatic configuration - it would be great if we could merge
them.

If you are interested in helping with mod_jk - I'm sure you'll have your
own preferences - let us know, send code, drive this !

Is there a separate mod_jk list?

I've posted a severe bug for ajp13, and I would like to contribute, but I
don't see a TODO for mod_jk or much discussion on plans for mod_jk and
related containers.

Thanks for any information,

No, there are just incremental enhancements and changes to Ajp11 - and I
would say we might still have some changes and enhancements. 

( there are additional messages that will probably be needed, the current
stuff is stable and if it can be documented if anyone volunteers to do so,
but there are few more things planed for ajp13 that are not yet
implemented. ).
