I found the one feature that AJP had on the tomcat side was seamless integration with SSL on the httpd. Within the webapp, all the isSecure() methods Just Worked(TM). Apart from that, I usually deploy mod_proxy_httpd where I can, because myself and my trusty telnet client can speak HTTP. Regards, Graham --
