mod_jk has code for Servlet-Engine support but ajp13 didn't send
it now certainly for performance reasons.
I take a look in Tomcat 4.0 and even in Resin but this Header
is not present. If "Servlet-Engine:" is required by specs we
may add it but which RFC require this header ?

mod_jk could set the ServletEngine but it must know before which worker
run which servlet engine. In a farm of tomcat you could have at the
same time TC 3.2/3.2.1/3.3/4.0 ....
ajp14 will learn which version of servlet-engine is running at login time.

We could speed-up again a little FastDateFormat by also checking the full
date
since it may called by many threads in the same MS. I'll commit the patch
later :)
The Apache team grab this kind of optimization from SGI patches !!!
