ajp13 supports SSL ATTRIBUTES, but don't make use of SSL, so it's not a secure
protocol. I proposed sometimes ago to add in ajp14 (or ajp13++) some sort of
crypto but it was not selected because it will add delay and sus slow the
througput between Apache and Tomcat. Better to use a SSH tunnel between your
AJP13 client and server (it's native code and fast).

isssl only indicate that the request came from a SSL connection.
