Have you ever wanted to check your tomcat instance without going through mod_jk? Would you like to know if a server problem is caused by your servlet engine or your connector? If you answered "whaaa???" to either of those questions, then the answer is no. If you're still reading this post, then we offer this handy troubleshooting device: ajping
ajping relies on Time::HiRes and Socket. It sends "\x12\x34\x00\x01\x0a" to the server and checks for "\0x41\0x42\0x00\0x01\0x09" in response. For an explanation of that exchance, check out the AJP protocol page.
