Yes - it's a workaround that avoids bloating the protocol, same workaround used by HTTP to keep the protocol (relatively) simple. There are plenty of protocols far more sophisticated than HTTP - but it seems the http workaround worked. AJP's goal is to optimize the transfer of requests and responses. Jk goal was to support multiple protocols ( like AJP13 ). I'm -1 on bloating the protocol for things that can be implemented much cleaner using the request/response mechanism that we already support. I'm +1 if someone wants to implement/use XDR/IIOP/RMI, and I'm +1 on adding a new request message format that simplifies the current request. I think both are well justified.
