Chances are any attempt to filter these out could be defeated and there is
always a risk of a false positive. In addition, there may be other, more
complex, attack vectors that would not be blocked.

I just kicked off a discussion on the dev list. Feel free to join in there.

Since we do not really have the option use "APR/Native" and we would be happy
to have X-Header fixing heuristics as another optional server.xml attribute.
You fear in comment 2 that there are other more complex attack vectors, but if
we can, shouldn't we fix the immediate and obvious ones all the same - even if
we can't guarantee that there aren't worse, but also more complex attack
vectors.

We happily offer to test and report at least for our setup.

If you really want something like that, you can write a Filter or a Valve. See
org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve for an example.

My current understanding is that a filter/valve as proposed will do very little
to mitigate this attack as the SSL handshaking occurs at the JSSE level and is
simply not visible to the BIO & NIO connector code.
