Hi Henri, I appreciate your efforts concerning the connectors. My position is that Tomcat 3.3 needs to have stable Ajp13 connectors for Apache 1.3, IIS, and to the extent we can, Netscape. A connector for Apache 2.0 should come out of jakarta-tomcat-connectors instead of jakarta-tomcat. Given that connectors were part of 3.2.x releases, I'm very reluctant to remove all of them from 3.3. Since we are approaching an attempt to release, I need to impose the restriction on the connectors that no features be added and only safe fixes be applied. I believe this restriction is best imposed on the jakarta-tomcat tree at this time and not jakarta-tomcat-connectors where Apache 2.0 is ongoing. If there are bug fixes in J-T-C that would benefit the J-T connectors, and they are safe and easy to apply, then they are worth considering to port. If one is needed, but may not be safe, please let me know of the issue. Otherwise, don't bother back porting J-T-C changes to J-T. I plan to go ahead and delete the J-T Apache 2.0 support once we know there isn't anything there that we need to port to J-T-C. You may be the best judge as to when the deletion can occur. If you could let me know, or suggest how I might check, I would appreciate it. I don't anticipate doing much, if any, maintenance on the connectors after the Tomcat 3.3 release. So hopefully, this should be a temporary pain, and shouldn't be that painful since the J-T connectors should be stable already (given there is some recent work on input chunking that we hope to have debugged soon, perhaps already. Thanks Keith). If there are issues where I shouldn't consider them stable, please let me know so we can address them.
