Overview

AJP stands for Apache JServ Protocol. It is a binary protocol used by a httpd proxy to send requests to a backend application server, such as Tomcat or WildFly. AJP is an optimized version of the HTTP protocol. It is packet-oriented. A binary format was presumably chosen over the more readable plain text for reasons of performance.
