In theory, you can write a ProtocolHandler for any protocol you like and plug it into the Connector. However, you are right that this is for Request processing.

It's still a work-in-progress, but it may let you do what you want. > I hope to find a way without changing the tomcat code base. > > Thanks for your help. > Best Regards > /David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
