AJP is fantastic in theory, the implementation is just so crummy.  Like I
said, mostly it works.  But I encountered these problems as the maintainer
of Pebble, where there are thousands of different environments out there,
and also working on Atlassian's hosted services, where there were tens of
thousands of tomcat servers behind Apache reverse proxies.  At that scale,
if there are robustness issues, you're likely to encounter them.

All the issues you mentioned there can be worked around by attaching the
additional info to request headers.
