Editing Apache Tomcat (section)

===Coyote===
Coyote is a Connector component for Tomcat that supports the HTTP 1.1 and 2 protocol as a web server. This allows Catalina, nominally a Java Servlet or JSP container, to also act as a plain web server that serves local files as HTTP documents.<ref>[http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/coyote.html The Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector], Apache</ref> Coyote listens for incoming connections to the server on a specific [[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]] port and forwards the request to the Tomcat Engine to process the request and send back a response to the requesting client. Another Coyote Connector, Coyote JK, listens similarly but instead forwards its requests to another web server, such as Apache, using the [[Apache JServ Protocol|JK Protocol]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/coyotejk.html|title=Server Configuration Reference - The Coyote JK Connector|website=tomcat.apache.org|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref> This usually offers better performance.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}
