This can probably be solved using a custom Valve which converts those
HTTP headers into request attributes. Honestly, I was surprised
reading-through the Bon Code documentation that such a Valve does not
ship by default with Bon Code... it seems to be entirely necessary.

No problem. Bon Code is relatively new, and I honestly hope it
succeeds. I'm certain Bilal would be willing to investigate this and
either tell you what you've been missing, or fix Bon Code to work with
an out-of-the-box Tomcat configuration.
