I don't know how popular the APR connector is. There are probably lots of users who use it because "it's the fastest" and they haven't changed since 2005. I also don't know how many users are actually using NIO+OpenSSL. APR is well-known to be reliable and has good performance. I think the NIO+OpenSSL is less popularly deployed. Is it "too fast" to remove it in 10.0? > Maybe we should remove it from the docs in 10.0 in preparation for the move > ? I wouldn't remove it from the docs, but maybe very clearly advertise that it's being removed. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
