If you're referring to versions:
Tomcat is version 3.2.2, Apache 1.3.20, the servlet jar 2.2b.
In case you're referring how to check for the certificate :-) :
System.out.println(request.isSecure());
System.out.println(request.getProtocol());
System.out.println(request.getScheme());
System.out.println(request.getServerPort());
System.out.println("--- start headernames ---");
enum = request.getHeaderNames();
while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
thisparameter = (String)enum.nextElement();
System.out.println(thisparameter);
}
System.out.println("--- end headernames --- ");
System.out.println("--- start attributenames ---");
enum = request.getAttributeNames();
while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
thisparameter = (String)enum.nextElement();
System.out.println(thisparameter);
}
System.out.println("--- end attributenames --- ");
Object o = request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");
if (o == null)
System.out.println("request.getAttribute(\"javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate\") ==
null.");
These lines produce the following output:
true
HTTP/1.0
https
443
--- start headernames ---
accept
accept-charset
pragma
accept-encoding
host
accept-language
connection
user-agent
--- end headernames ---
--- start attributenames ---
--- end attributenames ---
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate") == null.
Regards,
Christoph.
