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

When using WebDAV to copy a file resource to a destination that requires
a collection to be overwritten, ensure that the operation succeeds
rather than fails (with a 500 response). This enables Tomcat to pass two
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
method that returns a 405 status code will not be listed in the
Allow header and a method listed in the Allow
header will not return a 405 status code. (markt)

requests must include a Host header and any request that
does not must be rejected with a 400 response. (markt)
Implement the requirements of RFC 7230 that any HTTP/1.1 request that
specifies a host in the request line, must specify the same host in the
Host header and that any such request that does not, must
be rejected with a 400 response. This check is optional but enabled by
default. It may be disabled with the
allowHostHeaderMismatch attribute of the Connector. (markt)
Implement the requirements of RFC 7230 that any HTTP/1.1 request that
contains multiple Host headers is rejected with a 400
response. (markt)
Add a way to set the property source in embedded mode. (remm)
61557: Correct a further regression in the fix to enable the

JarInputStream only if those entries exist. (markt)
Coyote
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
support for the SSL_CONF OpenSSL API. (rjung)
Add support for the OpenSSL SSL_CONF API when using
TLS with OpenSSL implementation. It can be used by adding
OpenSSLConf elements underneath SSLHostConfig.
The new element contains a list of OpenSSLConfCmd elements,
each with the attributes name and value.
(rjung)
When using a Java connector in combination with the OpenSSL TLS
implementation, do not configure each SSL connection object via
the OpenSSLEngine. For OpenSSL the SSL object inherits its
settings from the SSL_CTX which we have already configured.
(rjung)
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
present. (rjung)
If an invalid option is specified for the
certificateVerification attribute of an
SSLHostConfig element, treat it as required
which is the most secure / restrictive option in addition to reporting
the configuration error. (markt)
Improve the handling of client disconnections during the TLS
renegotiation handshake. (markt)
Prevent exceptions being thrown during normal shutdown of NIO
connections. This enables TLS connections to close cleanly. (markt)
Fix possible race condition when setting IO listeners on an upgraded

58244: Handle the case when OpenSSL resumes a TLS session
using a ticket and the full client certificate chain is not available.
In this case the client certificate without the chain will be presented
to the application. (markt)
Improve the warning message when JSSE and OpenSSL configuration styles
are mixed on the same SSLHostConfig. (markt)
61415: Fix TLS renegotiation with OpenSSL based connections
and session caching. (markt)
Delay checking that the configured attributes for an
SSLHostConfig instance are consistent with the configured
SSL implementation until Connector start to avoid incorrect
warnings when the SSL implementation changes during initialisation.
(markt)
61451: Correct a regression in the fix to enable the use of
Java key stores that contained multiple keys that did not all have the
same password. The regression broke support for any key store that did
not store keys in PKCS #8 format such as hardware key stores and Windows
key stores. (markt)

identical format to /WEB-INF/web.xml. The Tomcat descriptor
takes precedence over any settings in conf/web.xml but does
not take precedence over any settings in /WEB-INF/web.xml.
(markt)
61232: When log rotation is disabled only one separator will
be used when generating the log file name. For example if the prefix is
catalina. and the suffix is .log then the log
file name will be catalina.log instead of
catalina..log. Patch provided by Katya Stoycheva.

49176: When generating JSP runtime error messages that quote
the relevant JSP source code, switch from using the results of the JSP
page parsing process to using the JSR 045 source map data to identify
the correct part of the JSP source from the stack trace. This
significantly reduces the memory footprint of Jasper in development
