Great to hear that you want to contribute some work!
As to mod_jk / TC 4.0, that's a complicated question. mod_jk is currently used by a
lot of people, and will continue to be for a while (I think), since I expect a lot of
people to continue to be using the 3.x source in the near future. So any work you do
there will definitely be greatly appreciated. It's also been around for a while, and
isn't changing much day-to-day (and is thus a good place for you to work). I am
working on an AJP13 connector for TC 4, which will allow people to use the mod_jk
plugin with TC 4.
OTOH, Pier is writing a brand new plugin/protocol/connector for TC 4 (mod_webapp),
which promises some big improvements (mainly in ease of configuration and compliance
with the servlet spec). It's not clear how mod_jk / mod_webapp will coexist in the
future -- personally, I'd like to see the best pieces from both merge, but I don't
know when/if/how that's going to happen. If he's interested in help, you could
presumably work with him there.
Some questions:
Where in RFC 1867 (which I just spent a while looking through) does it discuss the
issues you mention (early response by the servlet + consumption of the body)? Or is
that in a different RFC? Or is it more in the nature of a bug in the current code?
Just so I can understand clearly.
Do you have test cases where this fails? If so, what version of TC, what web server
and what connection protocol (e.g. ajp12, ajp13) were you using?
File Upload was badly broken with mod_jk/ajp13 in both 3.2 and 3.x -- some basic bugs
have been fixed in both of those repositories, but have not yet been released. Just
so you know.
Once I have a better understanding of what you're looking to do, I can help steer you
towards the right place in the mod_jk C code (or the servlet engine-side java code).
