I'd like to see as well:
4. Separate the SSL variables into a separate message, since these are
rarely actually looked at and we should start sending the entire cert
chain.
5. Implement some method to let Httpd notify Tomcat that the client has
dropped the connection, rather than rudely closing the connection.
Although it is possible that having an ACK for 5. would turn out to be more
expensive then the occational having to re-open the socket connection.

Or, simpiler (but less compatible :) whould be to change the String length
field to be 4 bytes instead of 2, and Tomcat would know that the beginning
of the next GMMH message is the continuation of the previous String.
