# Apache Tomcat 6.0

## Changelog

Tomcat 6.0.36 (jfclere) |

> Catalina

> > | 48692: Provide option to parse `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` PUT requests. (schultz)
> > | 50306: New StuckThreadDetectionValve to detect requests that take a long time to process, which might indicate that their processing threads are stuck. Based on a patch provided by TomLu. (kkolinko)
> > | 50570: Enable FIPS mode to be set in AprLifecycleListener. Based upon a patch from Chris Beckey. Note that this mode requires tomcat-native 1.1.23 or later linked to a FIPS-capable OpenSSL library, which one has to build by themselves. (schultz/kkolinko)
> > | Improve synchronization and error handling in AprLifecycleListener. Do not allow to change SSL options if SSL has already been initialized. (schultz/kkolinko)
> > | 52225: Fix ClassCastException when adding an alias for an existing host via JMX. (kkolinko)
> > | 52293: Correctly handle the case when `antiResourceLocking` is enabled at the Context level when `unpackWARs` is disabled at the Host level. Correctly handle multi-level contexts when `antiResourceLocking` is enabled. Patch by Justin Miller. (kkolinko)
> > | Do not throw IllegalArgumentException from parseParameters() call when chunked POST request is too large, but treat it like an IO error. The `FailedRequestFilter` filter can be used to detect this condition. (kkolinko)
> > | 52384: Do not fail with parameter parsing when debug logging is enabled. (kkolinko)
> > | Do not flag extra '&' characters in parameters as parse errors. (kkolinko)
> > | 52488: Correct typos: exipre -> expire. Based on a patch by prockter. (markt)
> > | Reduce log level for the message about hitting `maxParameterCount` limit from WARN to INFO. Fix limit comparison to allow exactly `maxParameterCount` parameters, as documentation says, instead of `(maxParameterCount-1)`. (kkolinko)
> > | Slightly improve performance of UDecoder.convert(). Align `%2f` handling between implementations. (kkolinko)
> > | Add `denyStatus` attribute to `RequestFilterValve` (`RemoteAddrValve`, `RemoteHostValve` valves). It allows to use different HTTP response code when rejecting denied request. E.g. 404 instead of 403. (kkolinko)
> > | Add `SetCharacterEncodingFilter` (similar to the one contained in the examples web application) to the `org.apache.catalina.filters` package so that it is available for all web applications. (kkolinko)
> > | 52500: Added configurable mechanism to retrieve user names from X509 client certificates. Based on a patch provided by Michael Furman. (schultz/kkolinko)
> > | 52719: Fix a theoretical resource leak in the JAR validation that checks for non-permitted classes in web application JARs. (markt)
> > | 52830: Correct JNDI lookups when using `javax.naming.Name` to identify the resource rather than a `java.lang.String`. (markt)
> > | 52850: Extend memory leak prevention and detection code to work with IBM as well as Oracle JVMs. Based on a patch provided by Rohit Kelapure. (kkolinko)
> > | 52996: In `StandardThreadExecutor`: Add the ability to configure a job queue size (`maxQueueSize` attribute). Add a variant of execute method that allows to specify a timeout for how long we want to try to add something to the queue. Based on a patch by Rüdiger Plüm. (kkolinko)
> > | 53047: If a JDBCRealm or DataSourceRealm is configured for an all roles mode that only requires authorization (and no roles) and no role table or column is defined, don't populate the Principal's roles. (markt/kkolinko)
> > | 53050: Fix handling of entropy value when initializing session id generator in session manager. Based on proposal by Andras Rozsa. (kkolinko)
> > | 53056: Add APR version number to tcnative version INFO log message. (schultz)
> > | 53057: Add OpenSSL version number INFO log message when initializing. (schultz)
> > | 53071: Use the message from the Throwable for the error report generated by the `ErrorReportValve` if none was specified via `sendError()`. Use the standard text for HTTP error codes. (markt/rjung)
> > | 53230: Change session managers to throw TooManyActiveSessionsException instead of IllegalStateException when the maximum number of sessions has been exceeded and a new session will not be created. (schultz/kkolinko)
> > | 53267: Ensure that using the GC Daemon Protection feature of the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener` does not trigger a full GC every hour. (markt/kkolinko)
> > | 53531: Fix ExpandWar.expand to check the return value of File.mkdir and File.mkdirs. (schultz)
> > | Make the CSRF nonce cache in `CsrfPreventionFilter` serializable so that it can be replicated across a cluster and/or persisted across Tomcat restarts. (markt)
> > | 53584: Ignore path parameters when comparing URIs for FORM authentication. This prevents users being prompted twice for passwords when logging in when session IDs are being encoded as path parameters. (markt)
> > | Various improvements to the DIGEST authenticator including 52954, the disabling caching of an authenticated user in the session by default, tracking server rather than client nonces and better handling of stale nonce values. (markt)
> > | Remove unneeded handling of FORM authentication in RealmBase. (kkolinko)
> > | 53800: `FileDirContext.list()` did not provide correct paths for subdirectories. Patch provided by Kevin Wooten. (kkolinko)
> > | 53830: Better handling of `Manager.randomFile` default value on Windows. (kkolinko)
> > | Improve session management in CsrfPreventionFilter. (kkolinko)

> Coyote

> > | 42181: Better handling of edge conditions in chunk header processing. (kkolinko)
> > | 51477: Support all SSL protocol combinations in the APR/native connector. This only works when using the native library version 1.1.21 or later. (rjung)
> > | 52055 (comment 14): Correctly reset `ChunkedInputFilter.needCRLFParse` flag when the filter is recycled. (kkolinko)
> > | 52606: Ensure replayed POST bodies are available when using AJP. (markt)
> > | 52858: Fix high CPU load with SSL, NIO and sendfile when client breaks the connection before reading all the requested data. (fhanik/kkolinko)
> > | 53119: Prevent buffer overflow errors being reported when a client disconnects before the response has been fully written from an AJP connection using the APR/native connector. (kkolinko)
> > | Improve `InternalNioInputBuffer.parseHeaders()`. (kkolinko)
> > | Implement `maxHeaderCount` attribute on Connector. It is equivalent of LimitRequestFields directive of Apache HTTPD. Default value is 100. (kkolinko)
> > | In JkCoyoteHandler connector for AJP/1.3 protocol (in `JkMain.setProperty()`): Fix setting of properties when connector has already started for properties that have aliases. E.g. it now allows to change `maxHeaderCount` attribute on Connector MBean via JMX. (kkolinko)
> > | 53725: Fix possible corruption of GZIP'd output. (kkolinko)

> Jasper

> > | 48097 (comment 7), 53366 (comment 1): If JSP page unexpectedly fails to initialize PageContext instance, write exception to the logs instead of silent swallowing. (kkolinko)
> > | 52335: Only handle `<\%` and not `\%` as escaped in template text. (markt)
> > | 52666: Correct coercion order in EL when processing the equality and inequality operators. (markt)
> > | 53001: Revert the fix for 46915 since the use case described in the bug is invalid since it breaks the EL specification. (markt)
> > | 53032: Modify `JspC` so it extends `org.apache.tools.ant.Task` enabling it to work with features such as namespaces within build.xml files. (markt)

> Cluster

> > | Replicate principal in ClusterSingleSignOn. (kfujino)
> > | 53513: Fix race condition between the processing of session sync message and transfer complete message. (kfujino)
> > | 53606: Fix potential NPE in `TcpPingInterceptor`. Based on a patch by F. Arnoud. (markt)
> > | 53607: To avoid NPE, set TCP PING data to ChannelMessage. Patch provided by F.Arnoud (kfujino)
> > | Fix a behavior of TcpPingInterceptor#useThread. Do not start a ping thread when useThread is set to false. (kfujino)

> Web applications

> > | 52243: Improve windows service documentation to clarify how to include `#` and/or `;` in the value of an environment variable that is passed to the service. (markt)
> > | 52515: Make it clear in the Realm how-to in the documentation web application that digested password storage when using DIGEST authentication requires that MD5 digests are used. (markt)
