It's on the wishlist for AJP/1.4 (as well as compression).  However there 
hasn't been much developer traction on AJP/1.4 for years.  The general 
consence on [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been to not add it to an AJP/1.3 release, so 
the 
answer to your second question is likely:  no.  The answer to your first 
question (based on this list) is likely:  yes.

AJP is designed to work over high-speed, secure, internal networks.  In this 
type of environment, if a black-hat can manage to sniff AJP traffic, you 
have much bigger problems on your hands ;).  However, if you want to submit 
patches to add encryption, I'm sure that you will find tomcat developers 
that are interested in reviewing them.

As Markus said, there are plenty of ways to encrypt AJP traffic today.  Just 
judging from this list, SSH tunnelling is popular, as well as Markus' 
suggestion of OpenVPN.
