	Unix.file_descr
  (** Initializes the AJP server by listening on a TCP port. The [inet_addr]
   * is the address to listen on (e.g. [Unix.inet_addr_any]), and the 
   * integer is the port. The function returns the file descriptor of

   *

val server_loop :
      ?controlpipe:[ `None | `Descriptor of Unix.file_descr | `Allocate ] ->
      ?onrestart:(t -> unit) ->
      ?onshutdown:(t -> unit) ->
      ?select_accept:
	(Unix.file_descr list -> Unix.file_descr ->
	   (Unix.file_descr list * Unix.file_descr option)) ->

	  (* connection handler *)
      auth option ->
      Unix.file_descr ->
	unit
  (** Accepts connection coming from the web server on the [file_descr],
   * and calls the connection handler.
   *
   * The connection handler is the function
   * {[ t -> auth option -> in_obj_channel -> out_obj_channel -> unit ]}
   * where
   * - [t] is the AJP server
   * - [auth option] is the optional authentication record
   * - [in_obj_channel] is the input channel over [file_descr]
   * - [out_obj_channel] is the output channel over [file_descr]
   *
   * The connection handler serves the complete connection, and must
   * close the two channels when it is done. It can return normally,
   * but it is also possible to raise the following exceptions:
   * 
   * - [Signal_shutdown]: The master socket is closed, and the whole
   *   server stops operation. Before this happens, however, the [onshutdown]
   *   function is called.
   * - [Signal_restart]: The [onrestart] function is called. It is
   *   up to this function to implement restarting.
   *
   * There is an alternate way to indicate these two signals for
   * multi-threaded servers, i.e. for servers that create a new thread
   * for every connection. Obviously, it is not possible to raise the
   * mentioned exceptions, as the thread context is different. The
   * work around is to call {!Netcgi_jserv.signal_restart} and
   * {!Netcgi_jserv.signal_shutdown}.
   *
   * @param controlpipe The control pipe is used to indicate "restart" or "shutdown"
   *   when the request handler is running in another thread or process than
   *   the server loop. The default is [`Allocate] and means that a new
   *   control pipe is allocated. The value [`None] means that no control pipe
   *   is created, and as a consequence, that the functions [signal_restart] and
   *   [signal_shutdown] will not work. The value [`Descriptor] means that
   *   the functions [signal_restart] and [signal_shutdown] write their
   *   messages to this descriptor, but the server loop ignores any messages.
   *
   * @param select_accept This function is called when the server waits until a 
   *   file descriptor becomes readable, and when it waits until a new
   *   connection begins. The function has two arguments: First the list of
   *   file descriptors to wait for, and second the master socket it listens
   *   to. The function must block until one of the file descriptors in the
   *   list becomes readable, or there is a new connection (or both).
   *   The result is a pair; the left component is the list of file descriptors
   *   that are readable, and the right component is the new slave socket
   *   for the connection (or None). The default is:
   *   {[
   *   (fun sel sock -> 
   *      let sel',_,_ = restart (Unix.select (sock::sel) [] []) (-1.0) in 
   *      let sel'' = List.filter (fun fd -> fd <> sock) sel' in
   *      let slave = 
   *        if List.mem sock sel' then 
   *          Some(fst(restart Unix.accept sock))
   *        else
   *          None in
   *      (sel'', slave)
   *   )
   *   ]}
   *   (where [restart] handles EINTR errors from [Unix.select]).
   *
   *   Note that even the [select_accept] function is allowed to raise the 
   *   exceptions [Signal_shutdown] and [Signal_restart].
   *
   * @param allow_hosts The list of IP addresses that are allowed to connect to this
   *   service. The empty list (the default) means that any address is
   *   allowed. (Net masks are not supported)
   *
   * @param onrestart this function is called when a "restart" is performed. 
   *   The default is [(fun _ -> ())]
   * @param onshutdown the function is called when a "shutdown" is performed.
   *   The default is [(fun _ -> ())]

  (** Signals the server that a "restart" must be done. This works only if

val read_control_pipe : Unix.file_descr -> 'a
  (** Reads the next message from the control pipe, and raises either

  (** Initializes the PRNG and seeds it with the contents of the passed file.
   * Only the first ~length bytes of the file are used (or fewer if the
   * file is shorter).
   * [length] defaults to 256.
   * For some operating systems, there is a device [/dev/random] that can 
   * easily be used to seed the PRNG:

val parse_properties : string -> (string * string) list
  (** Parses a property file and returns it as alist *)

val jvm_emu_main :

    unit
  (** This function fakes the "java" command (JVM startup). It interprets
   * [Sys.argv] as follows:
   * - The option [-classpath <path>] is ignored
   * - The first anonymous argument (Java class name) is ignored
   * - The second anonymous argument is the file name of the property file.
   *
   * The property file is parsed, and the following properties are used:
   * - "bindaddress": The address the server socket is bound to. Can be
   *   specified as IP address or hostname or "*" (default: "localhost")
   * - "port": The port number the server socket is bound to
