All, At ApacheCon, a few of us were talking about things that could be removed in upcoming versions of Tomcat. The issue of connectors came up, and I was thinking that there doesn't seem to be a reason to have an AjpApr connector any more.
The APR flavor of the AJP connector was only useful when BIO was the only IO strategy available, but now NIO has been available for some time. APR really only gives a benefit when used with OpenSSL for TLS, and since AJP doesn't use crypto, I think it's no longer necessary. I think we could even remove it as of Tomcat 9 if we want. What do others think? -chris
