the NIO connector. Based on a patch submitted by Thomas Meyer with
testing and suggestions by Coty Sutherland. (remm)
62507: Ensure that JSSE based TLS connectors work correctly
with a DKS keystore. (markt)
Refactor code that adds an additional header name to the
Vary HTTP response header to use a common utility method
that addresses several additional edge cases. (markt)
62515: When a connector is configured (via setting
bindOnInit to false) to bind/unbind the server
socket during start/stop, close the socket earlier in the stop process
so new connections do not sit in the TCP backlog during the shutdown
process only to be dropped as stop completes. In this scenario new
connections will now be refused immediately. (markt)
62526: Correctly handle PKCS12 format key stores when the key
store password is configured to be the empty string. (markt)
62605: Ensure ReadListener.onDataAvailable() is
called when the initial request body data arrives after the request
headers when using asynchronous processing over HTTP/2. (markt)
62614: Ensure that
WriteListener.onWritePossible() is called after
isReady() returns false and the window size is
subsequently incremented when using asynchronous processing over HTTP/2.

Correctly decode URL paths (+ should not be decoded to a

Switch to non-static loggers where there is a possibility of a logger

Improve debug logging for HTTP/2 pushed streams. (markt)
The OpenSSL engine SSL session will now ignore invalid accesses. (remm)

PUSH_PROMISE frames. Firstly, the HTTP/2 protocol only

the root cause exception is reported rather than swallowed. (markt)
62036: When caching an authenticated user Principal in the

NonLoginAuthenticator, cache the internal Principal object
rather than the user facing Principal object as Tomcat requires the
internal object to correctly process later authorization checks. (markt)
Refactor error handling to enable errors that occur before processing is
passed to the application to be handled by the application provided

Ensure that the toString() method behaves consistently for

When processing an HTTP 1.0 request in the HTTP connector and no host

Enable strict validation of the provided host name and port for all

Update the host validation to permit host names and components of domain

When using WebDAV to copy a file resource to a destination that requires
a collection to be overwritten, ensure that the operation succeeds

additional tests from the Litmus WebDAV test suite. (markt)
Modify the Default and WebDAV Servlets so that a 405 status code is
returned for PUT and DELETE requests when
disabled via the readonly initialisation parameter.
Align the contents of the Allow header with the response
code for the Default and WebDAV Servlets. For any given resource a

The minimum required Tomcat Native version has been increased to 1.2.14.
This version includes a new API needed for correct client certificate
support when using a Java connector with OpenSSL TLS implementation and

The new element contains a list of OpenSSLConfCmd elements,

When using a Java connector in combination with the OpenSSL TLS

When using JSSE TLS configuration with the OpenSSL implementation and
client certificates: include client CA subjects in the TLS handshake
so that the client can choose an appropriate client certificate to

Review those places where Tomcat re-encodes a URI or URI component and
ensure that the correct encoding (path differs from query string) is
applied and that the encoding is applied consistently. (markt)
Avoid a NullPointerException when reading attributes for a
initialised HTTP connector where TLS is enabled. (markt)
Always quote the hostName of an SSLHostConfig
element when using it as part of the JMX object name to avoid errors that
prevent the associated TLS connector from starting if a wild card
hostName is configured (because * is a

Update the default URIEncoding for a Connector

Ensure that executor thread pools used with connectors pre-start the
configured minimum number of idle threads. (markt)
60716: Add a new JSSE specific attribute,
revocationEnabled, to SSLHostConfig to permit
JSSE provider revocation checks to be enabled when no
certificateRevocationListFile has been configured. The
expectation is that configuration will be performed via a JSSE provider
specific mechanisms. (markt)
Modify the cookie header generated by the

specific war:file:... URL protocol to refer to WAR files

Refactor the code that implements the requirement that a call to

non-container thread before the container initiated thread that called
startAsync() completes must be delayed until the container
