<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the 
    <code>Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3</code> (hereafter
    <em>AJP13</em>).</p>

    <p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling <code>AJP13</code>
    protocol, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html">mod_proxy_ajp</a></code> have to be present in the server.</p>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
      <p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
      servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
      large.</p>

<h2><a name="overviewprotocol" id="overviewprotocol">Overview of the protocol</a></h2>
    <p>The <code>AJP13</code> protocol is packet-oriented.  A binary format
    was presumably chosen over the more readable plain text for reasons of
    performance.  The web server communicates with the servlet container over
    TCP connections.  To cut down on the expensive process of socket creation,
    the web server will attempt to maintain persistent TCP connections to the
    servlet container, and to reuse a connection for multiple request/response
    cycles.</p>
    <p>Once a connection is assigned to a particular request, it will not be
    used for any others until the request-handling cycle has terminated.  In
    other words, requests are not multiplexed over connections.  This makes
    for much simpler code at either end of the connection, although it does
    cause more connections to be open at once.</p>
    <p>Once the web server has opened a connection to the servlet container,
    the connection can be in one of the following states:</p>
    <ul>
    <li> Idle <br /> No request is being handled over this connection. </li>
    <li> Assigned <br /> The connecton is handling a specific request.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>Once a connection is assigned to handle a particular request, the basic
    request informaton (e.g. HTTP headers, etc) is sent over the connection in
    a highly condensed form (e.g. common strings are encoded as integers).
    Details of that format are below in Request Packet Structure. If there is a
    body to the request <code>(content-length &gt; 0)</code>, that is sent in a
    separate packet immediately after.</p>
    <p>At this point, the servlet container is presumably ready to start
    processing the request.  As it does so, it can send the
    following messages back to the web server:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>SEND_HEADERS <br />Send a set of headers back to the browser.</li>
    <li>SEND_BODY_CHUNK <br />Send a chunk of body data back to the browser.
    </li>
    <li>GET_BODY_CHUNK <br />Get further data from the request if it hasn't all
    been transferred yet.  This is necessary because the packets have a fixed
    maximum size and arbitrary amounts of data can be included the body of a
    request (for uploaded files, for example).  (Note: this is unrelated to
    HTTP chunked tranfer).</li>
    <li>END_RESPONSE <br /> Finish the request-handling cycle.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>Each message is accompanied by a differently formatted packet of data.
    See Response Packet Structures below for details.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="basppacketstruct" id="basppacketstruct">Basic Packet Structure</a></h2>
    <p>There is a bit of an XDR heritage to this protocol, but it differs
    in lots of ways (no 4 byte alignment, for example).</p>
    <p>Byte order: I am not clear about the endian-ness of the individual
    bytes.  I'm guessing the bytes are little-endian, because that's what
    XDR specifies, and I'm guessing that sys/socket library is magically
    making that so (on the C side).  If anyone with a better knowledge of
    socket calls can step in, that would be great.</p>
    <p>There are four data types in the protocol: bytes, booleans,
    integers and strings.</p>
    <dl>
    <dt><strong>Byte</strong></dt><dd>A single byte.</dd>
    <dt><strong>Boolean</strong></dt>
      <dd>A single byte, <code>1 = true</code>, <code>0 = false</code>.
      Using other non-zero values as true (i.e. C-style) may work in some places,
      but it won't in others.</dd>
    <dt><strong>Integer</strong></dt>
      <dd>A number in the range of <code>0 to 2^16 (32768)</code>.  Stored in
      2 bytes with the high-order byte first.</dd>
    <dt><strong>String</strong></dt>
      <dd>A variable-sized string (length bounded by 2^16). Encoded with
      the length packed into two bytes first, followed by the string
      (including the terminating '\0').  Note that the encoded length does
      <strong>not</strong> include the trailing '\0' -- it is like
      <code>strlen</code>.  This is a touch confusing on the Java side, which
      is littered with odd autoincrement statements to skip over these
      terminators.  I believe the reason this was done was to allow the C
      code to be extra efficient when reading strings which the servlet
      container is sending back -- with the terminating \0 character, the
      C code can pass around references into a single buffer, without copying.
      if the \0 was missing, the C code would have to copy things out in order
      to get its notion of a string.</dd>
    </dl>

  <h3>Packet Size</h3>
    <p>According to much of the code, the max packet size is <code>
    8 * 1024 bytes (8K)</code>.  The actual length of the packet is encoded in
    the header.</p>
  
  <h3>Packet Headers</h3>
    <p>Packets sent from the server to the container begin with
    <code>0x1234</code>.  Packets sent from the container to the server
    begin with <code>AB</code> (that's the ASCII code for A followed by the
    ASCII code for B).  After those first two bytes, there is an integer
    (encoded as above) with the length of the payload.  Although this might
    suggest that the maximum payload could be as large as 2^16, in fact, the
    code sets the maximum to be 8K.</p>

    <p>For most packets, the first byte of the payload encodes the type of
     message.  The exception is for request body packets sent from the server to
     the container -- they are sent with a standard packet header (<code>
     0x1234</code> and then length of the packet), but without any prefix code
     after that.</p>
     <p>The web server can send the following messages to the servlet
     container:</p>

      </tr>
    </table>
    <p>To ensure some basic security, the container will only actually do the
    <code>Shutdown</code> if the request comes from the same machine on which
    it's hosted.</p>
    <p>The first <code>Data</code> packet is send immediatly after the
    <code>Forward Request</code> by the web server.</p>

  <h3>protocol, req_uri, remote_addr, remote_host, server_name,
  server_port, is_ssl</h3>
    <p>These are all fairly self-explanatory.  Each of these is required, and
    will be sent for every request.</p>
  
  <h3>Headers</h3>
    <p>The structure of <code>request_headers</code> is the following:
    First, the number of headers <code>num_headers</code> is encoded.
    Then, a series of header name <code>req_header_name</code> / value
    <code>req_header_value</code> pairs follows.
    Common header names are encoded as integers,
    to save space.  If the header name is not in the list of basic headers,
    it is encoded normally (as a string, with prefixed length).  The list of
    common headers <code>sc_req_header_name</code>and their codes
    is as follows (all are case-sensitive):</p>
    <table>
      <tr><td>Name</td><td>Code value</td><td>Code name</td></tr>
      <tr><td>accept</td><td>0xA001</td><td>SC_REQ_ACCEPT</td></tr>
      <tr><td>accept-charset</td><td>0xA002</td><td>SC_REQ_ACCEPT_CHARSET
      </td></tr>
      <tr><td>accept-encoding</td><td>0xA003</td><td>SC_REQ_ACCEPT_ENCODING
      </td></tr>
      <tr><td>accept-language</td><td>0xA004</td><td>SC_REQ_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
      </td></tr>
      <tr><td>authorization</td><td>0xA005</td><td>SC_REQ_AUTHORIZATION</td>
      </tr>
      <tr><td>connection</td><td>0xA006</td><td>SC_REQ_CONNECTION</td></tr>
      <tr><td>content-type</td><td>0xA007</td><td>SC_REQ_CONTENT_TYPE</td>
      </tr>
      <tr><td>content-length</td><td>0xA008</td><td>SC_REQ_CONTENT_LENGTH</td>
      </tr>
      <tr><td>cookie</td><td>0xA009</td><td>SC_REQ_COOKIE</td></tr>
      <tr><td>cookie2</td><td>0xA00A</td><td>SC_REQ_COOKIE2</td></tr>
      <tr><td>host</td><td>0xA00B</td><td>SC_REQ_HOST</td></tr>
      <tr><td>pragma</td><td>0xA00C</td><td>SC_REQ_PRAGMA</td></tr>
      <tr><td>referer</td><td>0xA00D</td><td>SC_REQ_REFERER</td></tr>
      <tr><td>user-agent</td><td>0xA00E</td><td>SC_REQ_USER_AGENT</td></tr>
    </table>
    <p>The Java code that reads this grabs the first two-byte integer and if
    it sees an <code>'0xA0'</code> in the most significant
    byte, it uses the integer in the second byte as an index into an array of
    header names.  If the first byte is not <code>0xA0</code>, it assumes that
    the two-byte integer is the length of a string, which is then read in.</p>
    <p>This works on the assumption that no header names will have length
    greater than <code>0x9999 (==0xA000 - 1)</code>, which is perfectly
    reasonable, though somewhat arbitrary.</p>
    <div class="note"><h3>Note:</h3>
    The <code>content-length</code> header is extremely
    important.  If it is present and non-zero, the container assumes that
    the request has a body (a POST request, for example), and immediately
    reads a separate packet off the input stream to get that body.
    </div>
  
  <h3>Attributes</h3>
    <p>The attributes prefixed with a <code>?</code>
    (e.g. <code>?context</code>) are all optional.  For each, there is a
    single byte code to indicate the type of attribute, and then a string to
    give its value.  They can be sent in any order (thogh the C code always
    sends them in the order listed below).  A special terminating code is
    sent to signal the end of the list of optional attributes. The list of
    byte codes is:</p>
    <table>
      <tr><td>Information</td><td>Code Value</td><td>Note</td></tr>
      <tr><td>?context</td><td>0x01</td><td>Not currently implemented
      </td></tr>
      <tr><td>?servlet_path</td><td>0x02</td><td>Not currently implemented
      </td></tr>
      <tr><td>?remote_user</td><td>0x03</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>?auth_type</td><td>0x04</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>?query_string</td><td>0x05</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>?jvm_route</td><td>0x06</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>?ssl_cert</td><td>0x07</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>?ssl_cipher</td><td>0x08</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>?ssl_session</td><td>0x09</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>?req_attribute</td><td>0x0A</td><td>Name (the name of the
      attribute follows)</td></tr>
      <tr><td>?ssl_key_size</td><td>0x0B</td><td /></tr>
      <tr><td>are_done</td><td>0xFF</td><td>request_terminator</td></tr>
    </table>
    <p>The <code>context</code> and <code>servlet_path</code> are not
    currently set by the C code, and most of the Java code completely ignores
    whatever is sent over for those fields (and some of it will actually break
    if a string is sent along after one of those codes).  I don't know if this
    is a bug or an unimplemented feature or just vestigial code, but it's
    missing from both sides of the connection.</p>
    <p>The <code>remote_user</code> and <code>auth_type</code> presumably
    refer to HTTP-level authentication, and communicate the remote user's
    username and the type of authentication used to establish their identity
    (e.g. Basic, Digest).</p>
    <p>The <code>query_string</code>, <code>ssl_cert</code>,
    <code>ssl_cipher</code>, and <code>ssl_session</code> refer to the
    corresponding pieces of HTTP and HTTPS.</p>
    <p>The <code>jvm_route</code>, is used to support sticky
    sessions -- associating a user's sesson with a particular Tomcat instance
    in the presence of multiple, load-balancing servers.</p>
    <p>Beyond this list of basic attributes, any number of other attributes
    can be sent via the <code>req_attribute</code> code <code>0x0A</code>.
    A pair of strings to represent the attribute name and value are sent
    immediately after each instance of that code.  Environment values are passed
    in via this method.</p>
    <p>Finally, after all the attributes have been sent, the attribute
    terminator, <code>0xFF</code>, is sent.  This signals both the end of the
    list of attributes and also then end of the Request Packet.</p>

  <h3>Details:</h3>
  <h3>Send Body Chunk</h3>
    <p>The chunk is basically binary data, and is sent directly back to the
    browser.</p>
  
  <h3>Send Headers</h3>
    <p>The status code and message are the usual HTTP things
    (e.g. <code>200</code> and <code>OK</code>). The response header names are
    encoded the same way the request header names are. See header_encoding above
    for details about how the the codes are distinguished from the strings.<br />
    The codes for common headers are:</p>
    <table>
      <tr><td>Name</td><td>Code value</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Content-Type</td><td>0xA001</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Content-Language</td><td>0xA002</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Content-Length</td><td>0xA003</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Date</td><td>0xA004</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Last-Modified</td><td>0xA005</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Location</td><td>0xA006</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Set-Cookie</td><td>0xA007</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Set-Cookie2</td><td>0xA008</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Servlet-Engine</td><td>0xA009</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Status</td><td>0xA00A</td></tr>
      <tr><td>WWW-Authenticate</td><td>0xA00B</td></tr>
    </table>
    <p> After the code or the string header name, the header value is
    immediately encoded.</p>
  
  <h3>End Response</h3>
    <p>Signals the end of this request-handling cycle.  If the
    <code>reuse</code> flag is true <code>(==1)</code>, this TCP connection can
    now be used to handle new incoming requests.  If <code>reuse</code> is false
    (anything other than 1 in the actual C code), the connection should
    be closed.</p>
  
  <h3>Get Body Chunk</h3>
    <p>The container asks for more data from the request (If the body was
    too large to fit in the first packet sent over or when the request is
    chuncked). The server will send a body packet back with an amount of data
    which is the minimum of the <code>request_length</code>, the maximum send
    body size <code>(8186 (8 Kbytes - 6))</code>, and the number of bytes
    actually left to send from the request body.<br />
    If there is no more data in the body (i.e. the servlet container is
    trying to read past the end of the body), the server will send back an
    <em>empty</em> packet, which is a body packet with a payload length of 0.
    <code>(0x12,0x34,0x00,0x00)</code></p>
