Just want to say thanks! Our initial testing shows that bypassing the TCP layer and using Unix sockets is _very significant_ performance increase.... like _a lot_ faster. Pretty danged cool! We'd probably terminate TCP/TLS with Haproxy then load balance to Tomcat listening on Unix sockets. We still have a few more issues to overcome, but those are separate items or perhaps bugs, for another discussion: * We noticed the the socket file doesn't seem to get cleaned up, despite the documentation indicating it should. As a workaround, we have the systemd unit remove the file after Tomcat stops. We are trying to root cause this in Tomcat code and see if we can figure out whats wrong. * We noticed `request.getRemoteAddr()` and `request.getRemoteHost()` are broken (expected). We improvised a Valve to hardcode `127.0.0.1` for each and that seems to do the trick, then use the RemoteAddrValve to set the real values. A better option might be: Haproxy has something akin to AJP called "Proxy Protocol" that can pass a lot of information from the original request. There's a open bug about it that we might look into helping get across the finish line: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57830 Anyway thank you!
