I would like to fix it.

These are the three <Connector> XML configuration elements in my
server.xml for Tomee
    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
                redirectPort="8443" xpoweredBy="false" server="Apache
TomEE" proxyName="www.myDomain.com" proxyPort="80" />

    <Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false"
               disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100"
SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https" secure="true"
               keyAlias="server" keystoreFile="[redacted]"
keystorePass="[redacted]"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" xpoweredBy="false"
server="Apache TomEE" proxyName="www.myDomain.com" proxyPort="80"/>

   <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443"
proxyName="www.myDomain.com" proxyPort="80"/>

Let give that a try and get back with you.
