Now that I think more of that, you can use the Apache's

the mod_jk at first.

this will indeed fix some cases, but the AJP13 packet can still be filled up by adding junk headers to the request, Apache does not take headers into account to compute the size of the RequestLine (only the URI is).



Yes, this is the limitation of the AJP13 protocol. AJP14 will have unlimited initial header size, consisting of multiple packets in case of overflow.

The DOS condition is then still there.


I have a patch for 1.2.9, so you will need to upgrade the jk.
