Kirk, Welcome to Tomcat! I am afraid Bugzilla is the best todo list we have. Take a look at the following bugs. They shouldn't be too hard and if you get stuck just shout. Don't be surprised if some of these have been fixed in the latest 5.5.x & 6.0.x release - just close the bug report with a note of the version you tested. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38570 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38726 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39013 These are all 5.5.x bugs. Generally, I'd suggest testing in the following order: - trunk - 6.0.x - 5.5.x Provide a patch for the first one that is broken and check that it can be easily ported to the remaining versions. If the port to a branch isn't simple, provide a patch specifically for that branch. Patches (in diff -u format) should be attached to bugzilla. If you need help, ask a question on the dev list.
