HTTP Connector : Attributes

[WSMITH]

The HTTP connector is a kind of communicator or we can also say a connector component to support the HTTP/1.1 protocol. It also enables the catalina as well. This will functions as the web server. It do executes servlets and JSP pages. It listens to TCP ports on the server. It can also be configured as single service which forward it to engine to perform the request which is processed and that to create a complete response . In case of connections to web servers through AJP protocol, it is used as follows :

These connector will create request numbers that process threads. Each incoming request will need a thread for duration of request. In case more request are sent, it can be handlged by more threads and additional threads will be created to the maximum configuration.

All Connector support the following :

maxPostSize : The Maximum POST of the size in bytes are handled by the container. This is in a form of URL parameter parsing.

emptySessionPath : If its being set to True the paths for session are set to /. This kind of structure is normally used for the portlet specifications. It is not specified, attribute is set to false.

allowTrace : It can disable or enable the TRACE HTTP. It is not any of the specified, attribute which is set to false.

enableLookups : If this attribute enableLookups is set to True, in that case of request.getRemoteHost() to check DNS lookups in order check hostname of remote client. DNS lookup is enabled as default.

I would like to add some more points in to it.

maxSavePostSize : This maxSavePostSize is another important attribute for showing the maximum size of the post which is saved by a container.

protocol : A Protocol Attribute is a kind of Value to HTTP/1.1 which is used by HTTP handler and is default.

proxyName : A configure the attribute to the server name in order for calls to request.getServerName() This request will take the request for the server name.

proxyPort : Its a Proxy Port Configuration which helps to use it as a Proxcy IP.

redirectPort : If we got a non-SSL request then the Catalina redirects request to port number.

Scheme : This attribute is used to name the protocol by cales to request.getScheme(). This is also a requesting protocol which take the scheme from the important attribute.

secure : If this attribute is set to true then calls to those request.isSecure() to return true for the request which received by connector. As a default, it is always set as false.
