That is the Itanium build. Are you sure that is the version you want?
Also, 1.2.30 is 8+ years old. The latest version is 1.2.42 (with 1.2.43
currently being voted on for release). Get the latest version from:
https://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi

I've never used HttpPlatformHandler so it is hard to comment. This
community is more likely to be able to support the ISAPI redirector (the
IIS component of Tomcat Connectors).

Generally it looks as if the pros/cons of HTTP proxy vs AJP proxy would
apply. Which usually boils down to:

- if you want to proxy over a TLS connection use an HTTP proxy
- else if you want to expose client info to the back-end easily use AJP
- else choose whichever you are more familiar / comfortable with
