I don't really see this happening. I'm fairly sure that the widespread use of HTTP/2 is going to kill AJP forever, leaving only mod_proxy_http(2) as a viable long-term connector. Nobody is ever going to bother writing an AF_UNIX connector for HTTP/2, so I think this idea is very likely to die in this thread. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWBeEhAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYzU0QAIKV6imgl5CIyQW60QaTxERY 92VX4/s305D02r1Pp2Mji/kxmnylLgRq1ZQEwq7Jnygcm8NKPjHQQtOieSlSTHEO S/OvB8p57arsY8N5JRcf2+mequYcNx5CbeWSSbqp2DS7KEli8FKyDHKpeioNVmZX qWaWqG1mADxQBoLOgsk0opa82R18VadRQL4iKk+K28S3QLIFoIlOpi5pWOaothiV RHBPQ282FfSJMfwhqmtirS3ZyqNu9Tve/e21kz1eCeBh/9L9sOI6E2EFKcF2Mq1Q 2PPoY3EuxSIlUeVKQgZZL+QPUy3UDcWmlsm6WNxCLQRIkpSXLfmJr2JpAwJaL2if 6Ssd9nVizP29WcnKQa8qWC50vrlbOROb9OaI/2t/zjdAWFKRdyG2FKHJQB+lolxV +A+xiHIaATrcLTtkbbwm+dcUl6KFx/UMKmCLdK7+m19RDmTdeYeUSEvNXidZopb8 mZe4T87KbOrwMpqAjlehlqSOY3B993ZQu3bQdB+S1H0AdjXAL+C7umtzNX3qFb1C KmJBpmt6AhIzaLYCiwHK3sYEp0BW5PYTMrM6MNJErheGvbxmfo7yPTYsVgfmTsMM VS6kZqCXogj/FPaIna8X3UJr4BSEP5Dwx5AUZXS4qd1EcFT7gSKYD5+1vApsfUGh cjAzQL+QFx/pl3DEtG8w =whRf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
