The original document was written by Dan Milstein<EMAIL_ADDRESS>on December 2000. The present document is generated out of an xml file to allow a more easy integration in the Tomcat documentation. This describes the Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3 (hereafter ajp13 ). There is, apparently, no current documentation of how the protocol works. This document is an attempt to remedy that, in order to make life easier for maintainers of JK, and for anyone who wants to port the protocol somewhere (into jakarta 4.x, for example).
I am not one of the designers of this protocol -- I believe that Gal Shachor was the original designer. Everything in this document is derived from the actual implementation I found in the tomcat 3.x code. I hope it is useful, but I can't make any grand claims to perfect accuracy. I also don't know why certain design decisions were made. Where I was able, I've offered some possible justifications for certain choices, but those are only my guesses. In general, the C code which Shachor wrote is very clean and comprehensible (if almost totally undocumented). I've cleaned up the Java code, and I think it's reasonably readable.
According to email from Gal Shachor to the jakarta-dev mailing list, the original goals of JK (and thus ajp13 ) were to extend mod_jserv and ajp12 by (I am only including the goals which relate to communication between the web server and the servlet container):
The ajp13 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. 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. Once the web server has opened a connection to the servlet container, the connection can be in one of the following states:
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 (content-length > 0), that is sent in a separate packet immediately after. 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:
Each message is accompanied by a differently formatted packet of data. See Response Packet Structures below for details.
There is a bit of an XDR heritage to this protocol, but it differs in lots of ways (no 4 byte alignment, for example). 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. There are four data types in the protocol: bytes, booleans, integers and strings.
According to much of the code, the max packet size is 8 * 1024 bytes (8K). The actual length of the packet is encoded in the header.
Packets sent from the server to the container begin with 0x1234. Packets sent from the container to the server begin with AB (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.
The web server can send the following messages to the servlet container:
The servlet container can send the following types of messages to the web server:
Each of the above messages has a different internal structure, detailed below.
For messages from the server to the container of type "Forward Request":
AJP13_FORWARD_REQUEST := prefix_code (byte) 0x02 = JK_AJP13_FORWARD_REQUEST method (byte) protocol (string) req_uri (string) remote_addr (string) remote_host (string) server_name (string) server_port (integer) is_ssl (boolean) num_headers (integer) request_headers *(req_header_name req_header_value) attributes *(attribut_name attribute_value) request_terminator (byte) OxFF The request_headers have the following structure:
req_header_name := sc_req_header_name | (string) [see below for how this is parsed] sc_req_header_name := 0xA0xx (integer) req_header_value := (string) The attributes are optional and have the following structure:
attribute_name := (string) attribute_value := (string) Not that the all-important header is "content-length', because it determines whether or not the container looks for another packet immediately. Detailed description of the elements of Forward Request.
For all requests, this will be 2. See above for details on other .
The HTTP method, encoded as a single byte:
These are all fairly self-explanatory. Each of these is required, and will be sent for every request.
The structure of request_headers is the following: First, the number of headers num_headers is encoded. Then, a series of header name req_header_name / value req_header_value 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 sc_req_header_nameand their codes is as follows (all are case-sensitive):
The Java code that reads this grabs the first two-byte integer and if it sees an '0xA0' 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 '0xA0', it assumes that the two-byte integer is the length of a string, which is then read in. This works on the assumption that no header names will have length greater than 0x9999 (==0xA000 - 1), which is perfectly reasonable, though somewhat arbitrary. (If you, like me, started to think about the cookie spec here, and about how long headers can get, fear not -- this limit is on header names not header values . It seems unlikely that unmanageably huge header names will be showing up in the HTTP spec any time soon). Note: The content-length 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.
The list of attributes prefixed with a ? (e.g. ?context) 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:
The context and servlet_path 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. The remote_user and auth_type 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). I'm not clear on why the password isn't also sent, but I don't know HTTP authentication inside and out. The query_string, ssl_cert, ssl_cipher, and ssl_session refer to the corresponding pieces of HTTP and HTTPS. The jvm_route, as I understand it, is used to support sticky sessions -- associating a user's sesson with a particular Tomcat instance in the presence of multiple, load-balancing servers. I don't know the details. Beyond this list of basic attributes, any number of other attributes can be sent via the req_attribute code (0x0A). 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. Finally, after all the attributes have been sent, the attribute terminator, 0xFF, is sent. This signals both the end of the list of attributes, and also then end of the Request Packets as a whole. The server can also send a shutdown packet. To ensure some basic security, the container will only actually do the shutdown if the request comes from the same machine on which it's hosted.
For messages which the container can send back to the server. AJP13_SEND_BODY_CHUNK := prefix_code 3 chunk_length (integer) chunk *(byte) AJP13_SEND_HEADERS := prefix_code 4 http_status_code (integer) http_status_msg (string) num_headers (integer) response_headers *(res_header_name header_value) res_header_name := sc_res_header_name | (string) [see below for how this is parsed] sc_res_header_name := 0xA0 (byte) header_value := (string) AJP13_END_RESPONSE := prefix_code 5 reuse (boolean) AJP13_GET_BODY_CHUNK := prefix_code 6 requested_length (integer) Details:
The chunk is basically binary data, and is sent directly back to the browser.
The status code and message are the usual HTTP things (e.g. "200" and "OK"). The response header names are encoded the same way the request header names are. See for details about how the the codes are distinguished from the strings. The codes for common headers are:
After the code or the string header name, the header value is immediately encoded.
Signals the end of this request-handling cycle. If the reuse flag is true (==1), this TCP connection can now be used to handle new incoming requests. If reuse is false (anything other than 1 in the actual C code), the connection should be closed.
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 request_length,
the maximum send body size (8186 (8 Kbytes - 6)), and the
number of bytes actually left to send from the request body.
What happens if the request headers > max packet size? There is no provision to send a second packet of request headers in case there are more than 8K (I think this is correctly handled for response headers, though I'm not certain). I don't know if there is a way to get more than 8K worth of data into that initial set of request headers, but I'll bet there is (combine long cookies with long ssl information and a lot of environment variables, and you should hit 8K easily). I think the connector would just fail before trying to send any headers in this case, but I'm not certain. What about authentication? There doesn't seem to be any authentication of the connection between the web server and the container. This strikes me as potentially dangerous. |

Seven-figure sum pocketed by Lancashire's parking chiefs
by Mike HillLancashire County Council clocked up more than £1m in profit from parking charges last year – a record high.
The AA says many local authorities see drivers as a “wallet on wheels”, and has accused some of using parking fees to plug budget gaps.
Parking services in Lancashire raised £1.1m in profit in 2018-19, according to Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government data.
This was the highest profit the council has made from parking since comparable records began in 2008-09.
All the profit made by the council last year came from on-street parking charges.
But off-street parking, such as local authority-run car parks, cost it £228,000.
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy for the AA, said: “When it comes to parking charges, many councils see drivers as wallets on wheels.
“At a time when budgets are stretched, raking in parking fees seems to be a tool used to try and fill the councils’ coffers.
“Some of the incomes are eyewatering, so drivers want to see that cash reinvested in local roads to eliminate potholes and poor road markings.”
Transport research charity the RAC Foundation said profits could be overstated in some areas, as costs such as interest payments are not included.
But Steve Gooding, the foundation’s director, said: “What will surprise drivers is that even as parking income soars, the amount of money being spent on routine road maintenance by councils has been in reverse.”
The rise in sums made from parking in Lancashire reflects the trend across England, where profits hit a record high of £936m.
This was an increase of £63m from the previous year.
David Renard, transport spokesman for the Local Government Association, said councils were on the side of motorists and shoppers, and that parking policies aim to make sure there are spaces available for residents, high streets are kept vibrant and traffic is kept moving.
He added: “Any income raised through on-street parking charges and fines is spent on running parking services, and any surplus is only spent on essential transport projects, such as filling potholes, supporting concessionary bus fares to help reduce congestion and other local transport projects that benefit high streets and local economies.”
The council with the highest profit last year was Westminster, which made £69m from parking charges.
But in Buckinghamshire, parking services cost the council £2.9m – the biggest loss for any council.

Gecode does not calculate all possible solutions, it rather tries to
remove all impossible values, and sometimes cannot remove enything.
That's why you have search. In Jorge's case, the branching will make
sure that all variables are either set to 0 or 1 during search.

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955) Starring: Robert Mitchum, Shelly Winters, Lillian Gish, Billy Chapin, Sally Jane Bruce. Screenplay: James Agee, based on the novel by Davis Grubb. Director: Charles Laughton. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Because I have been privy to the forty years of screen history which followed it -- particularly the past fifteen or twenty years -- I watched almost 90 minutes of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER with a combination of technical admiration and vague consternation. The problem was Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum), the sinister minister who drives the narrative.  His target is Willa Harper (Shelly Winters), whose husband shared a jail cell with Harry before his execution for killing two men during a bank robbery. The loot was never recovered, and only Willa's two young children John (Billy Chapin) and Pearl (Sally Jane Bruce) seem to know the whereabouts of the $10,000, though neither one is talking. Spouting scripture and impressing the gullible townsfolk, Harry insinuates himself into the Harper family to begin a greed-driven reign of terror.
You can't blame me for fearing that THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER would turn out to be the prototype for more recent films depicting Christians as either a) homicidal zealots, b) unctuous hypocrites or c) simple-minded buffoons, if not all three.
But THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER takes a surprising turn late in the film. Pursued relentlessly down the river by Harry, John and Pearl come into the care of an elderly woman named Rachel (Lillian Gish) who has taken to caring for orphans. In a moment of chillingly perfect clarity, Harry hovers menacingly at the garden gate, crooning that same solitary spiritual: "Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arm." Rachel recognizes the tune and begins to sing along, at which point it becomes clear that Harry is omitting a fairly significant word from his version. The word is "Jesus."
THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER has earned much of its praise over the years for director Charles Laughton's stark visual style, praise it certainly deserves. Some of Laughton's compositions are remarkably assured for a first-time (and, sadly, only-time) film-maker, haunting images of Harry as a dark horseman on the horizon, and of a dead woman's hair streaming underwater. There are also unexpected flashes of wicked humor, including a woman's can't-believe-they-said-it-in-1955 reference to her sex life as "ly(ing) back and thinking of my canning."
It is the canny set-up of Harry and Rachel as the "love" and "hate" on Harry's fingers, however, which will linger longest in my memory. Many conservative critics have railed against the movies as a haven for Christian-bashing, charges which only bear the whiff of truth because the films criticized don't do what THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER does.  Screenwriter James Agee makes Harry's fire-and-brimstone faith a pathology justifying his selfishness and misogyny; Rachel interprets her faith as a call to selflessness and defense of the defenseless. The narrative depth and cinematic richness of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER both end up coming from the same place: a juxtaposition of light and dark which can be as satisfying and inspirational as it is bleak and disturbing.
