--- Comment #21 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
In its current form? Unlikely. A quick look identifies several issues:

- The patch no longer applies cleanly. It needs to be updated to work with the
latest 9.0.x code.
- The optional configuration is inherently insecure. I'd consider vetoing a
commit that implemented this.
- The IP address parsing is not robust. Tomcat provides robust parsers in
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.parser
- This looks to be significantly more complex to implement for APR/Native. That
may not be an issue on the basis APR/Native may be dropped in Tomcat 10
onwards.
- No documentation
- I haven't looked at the overall design because the patch didn't apply. There
may be additional concerns.

Generally, when there appears to be a low level of interest in an enhancement
the closer a patch is to being able to be simply reviewed and committed without
additional changes the more likely it is to be applied.
