Hi Chris, Thanks for reply first. It may be the reason and may not. I compare the headers that tomcat actually received and the header that is supposed to be. the headers that tomcat actually received eliminated all the non-standard header attributes and added one more "content-length=0". It looked like apache server did it "intentionally".

I was having some funny issues with JK2 this week where my page would suddenly show some sort of c stack trace about a BufferOverFlow Exception (we are no longer using JK2), but someone sent me this information; "It looks like requests can only be 8k long: <http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/common/ajpv13a.html> What happens if the request headers > max packet size? There is no provision to send a second packet of request headers in case there are more than 8K (I think this is correctly handled for response headers, though I'm not certain). I don't know if there is a way to get more than 8K worth of data into that initial set of request headers, but I'll bet there is (combine long cookies with long ssl information and a lot of environment variables, and you should hit 8K easily). I think the connector would just fail before trying to send any headers in this case, but I'm not certain. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/catalina/docs/api/constant-value s.ht ml#org.apache.ajp.Ajp13.MAX_READ_SIZE " Hopefully this is of some use.

We tried to connect them through JK. Everything works fine, except some special http headers are gone.=20 Because we user entrust direct, which will set some special http header in the http request. The servlets will check those headers to check the user identity. =20 If you have any tips, please let me know.
