The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 8.5.87.
Apache Tomcat 8 is an open source software implementation of the Java
Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Unified Expression Language, Java
WebSocket and JASPIC technologies.
Apache Tomcat 8.5.87 is a bugfix and feature release. The notable
changes compared to 8.5.86 include:
- Correct a regression introduced in the fix for bug 66196 that
meant that the HTTP headers and/or request line could get
corrupted (one part overwriting another part) within a single
request.
- Provide a more appropriate response (501 rather than 400) when
rejecting an HTTP request using the CONNECT method.
- Add support for txt: and rnd: rewrite map types from mod_rewrite.
Based on a pull request provided by Dimitrios Soumis.
Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
