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 connection is handling a specific request.</li> + </ul> + <p>Once a connection is assigned to handle a particular request, the basic + request information (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 > 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 transfer).</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><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<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>AJP13 uses network byte order for all data types.</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>.

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 response header names are + encoded the same way the request header names are. See header_encoding above + for details about how 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>(anything other than 0 in the actual + C code)</code>, this TCP connection can now be used to handle new incoming + requests. If <code>reuse</code> is false (==0), 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 + chunked). 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> + +</div> +</div> +<div class="bottomlang"> +<p><span>Available Languages: </span><a href="../en/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html" title="English"> en </a> | +<a href="../fr/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html" hreflang="fr" rel="alternate" title="Français"> fr </a> | +<a href="../ja/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html" hreflang="ja" rel="alternate" title="Japanese"> ja </a></p> +</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img src="../images/up.gif" alt="top" /></a></div><div class="section"><h2><a id="comments_section" name="comments_section">Comments</a></h2><div class="warning"><strong>Notice:</strong><br />This is not a Q&A section.
