Cool, this makes sense.

Cool.

Ideally all three (http, ajp and ftp) should work the same way using a 
pool: The http method of only reusing the connection if the client 
reuses the connection is a bit bogus, there really should be a pool.

Ftp is the same - there should be a pool of ftp connections. In the case 
of ftp, all it needs to do is logout completely but keep the connection 
open, or - for extra points teaching the pool that some connections 
require login (like ftp) and to reuse connections wheree the login 
details match might also be an idea.

Ajp supports a pool anyway.

Making all three the same - ie all three come from a pool would solve 
this problem I think. The timeout characteristics on each protocol would 
be different (I would imagine that ajp would have a long lived 
connection, while http connections would be constrained by the timeout 
on HTTP keepalives on backend servers) but this is details.

Graham
