When testing an java app running on tomcat on the 8009 ajp13 connector, you can create an apache proxy with mod_proxy and connect to your tomcat using that proxy.
For test and QA purposes, it is sometimes easier to send a curl like command.
This tool aims to be to AJP13 what curl is to HTTP.
To get help, use the -h flag:
./ajprequest.py -h
usage: ajprequest.py [-h] [-H HEADER] [-r REMOTE_USER]
[-X {GET,POST,HEAD,OPTIONS,PROPFIND}] [-l {INFO,DEBUG}]
