Probably a matter of terminology, at least I would read "passing as
header" to be short for "passing as an HTTP Request Header".
You certainly can get REMOTE_USER over via AJP (if Jetty supports
that), but when passing it as an HTTP Request Header it will look more
like HTTP_REMOTE_USER or something like that, which is not the same
thing, it's an arbitrarily named request header.
