I think you are introducing a semantic difference where there is none: a web
service and a web application are the same thing. The fact that a browser is
one kind of client is irrelevant.

The point Mark was trying to make (if I may be so bold) was that "the web" (by
whatever definition) already recognizes separate official ports for HTTP and
HTTPS, so being able to switch protocols on a single port is inappropriate.

If you want to multiplex protocols over a single port, use some kind of service
out in front of Tomcat that understands how to do that, and leave Tomcat out of
it. This is unnecessary complexity for a product like Tomcat.

Sounds like your suitcase of tools are failing you. AWS itself imposes no such
limitations.
