Hi,

I opened this PR recently to improve the SSLValve so it is able to handle
the ssl_client_escaped_cert header from Nginx.

https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/406

Is anything more needed to move forward?

The problem solved by this PR is exemplified by
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64911070/clients-certificate-authentication-issue-in-tomcat-in-7-0-100
.
The newer Nginx ssl_client_escaped_cert header was introduced by
https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/857 around four years ago, and that
ticket mentions that:
    The $ssl_client_cert variable should be considered deprecated now
(although I didn't see this deprecation mentioned in other documentation).

Thanks,
Florent
