Problem:
Extra characters showing up in some content delivered from tomcat. I believe
they are from the JK connector when it breaks up the content into 8k
packets.
Setup:
Tomcat 5.5 -> JK 1.2.30 -> SunOne 6.1sp11
I tested using Apache2 and the problem does not show up there. Using apache
is not an option here.
Here are some snippets of packet captures (tcpdump) to show what I mean.
Tomcat to web server through JK connector, same for Sun One and Apache

The first snippet is from between the web server and tomcat through the JK
connector. This looks the same for either Apache or SunOne.
The thing to note is line 00c0 where the hex is 1f f8.
The second snippet is when a browser hits Apache. The thing to note is line
0130 where the hex is 0d 0a 0d 0a. (carriage return, line feed, carriage
return, line feed)
The third snippet is when a browser hits SunOne for the same file. Here on
line 0130 there is 0d 0a 31 66 66 38 0d 0a, notice the extra 4 characters
between the carriage return/line feeds.
And that is where my problem lies. These characters 1ff8 are showing up in
the body of the content and is causing errors.
I've been looking over the jk_nsapi_plugin.c code but I haven't worked in C
in over a decade so I'm fairly lost.
Is there any way to get the JK Connector to work the same for SunOne as it
does for Apache?
