For someone who have all its tomcat behind a webserver, I'll be to have the
requests sent to Tomcat since my web servers won't have a directory created for
all the webapps available on tomcats farms behind.
Alternativly I don't want to receive index.php or index.pl in Tomcat, and so
want only the one which match with JkMount (in mod_jk 1.2 way), ie JkMount
*.jsp ajp13.
