It's the same HTTP[S] handling code that's in httpd, which is why it's called Apache Portable Runtime. > What are the advantages/disadvantages/security issues > with Tomcat not using this file? No security impacts (unless there's a bug in the code, but it's been around a long time). Better performance with SSL, since APR uses OpenSSL rather than doing all the number crunching in Java. You might see better performance with non-SSL, but that appears to be application dependent. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
