I have an idea:
To the "LOGON COMP CMD" from the WEB-SERVER (second message), Add a CString:
WEB-SERVER INFO
The string could be something like: "Apache mod_jk AJP13 AJP14 AJP15"
Tomcat would answer "Tomcat AJP14" to tell that it supports protocol AJP14.

If we allow shutdown it could end confusing the user (which Apache has shutdown
Tomcat?).
So it could be good to have only one control channel. But what to do if more
than one WebServer connect to Tomcat?

Probably we need shared memory...
