I see. Sorry, I've been sleeping for quite a while, I'm slowly getting up to speed with the latest developments.
Are you saying that mod_proxy_ajp is significantly faster than mod_proxy ? That's interesting. To answer your question - ajp10 and ajp11 were used in JServ, developed in Apache. Ajp12 is based on 11, developed in the early days of tomcat. I think jetty also suppors ( or supported ) the protocol at some time. IMHO - if a new version of the protocol is developed, there are 2 choices: - preserve backwards compatibility - there are few ugly way to do this - break backwards compatibility - in wich case it may be better to redo the protocol so it is extensible, and maybe even better reuse an existing protocol. An example to look at is the DBUS protocol ( from freedesktop ) - or maybe classical RPC. Ad-hoc arbitrary binary protocols can be a bad idea - as we see with ajp12 extensibility problems.
