Processing a chunked SSL response of 221 characters, I found I was waiting over three 
seconds for the entire response to be read. Upon investigation, this appears to be 
happening because the decrypt method in SSLIOSession does not decrypt everything in the 
encrypted buffer at one go. Because of this, portions of my response didn't get processed 
via the processing of the events, but rather via the BaseIOReactor's validate method 
which means I experienced multiple select interval timeouts prior to the message being 
fully processed. In reviewing the java nio documentation for the unwrap method of the 
sslEngine, the comments in the javadoc state: "This method will attempt to consume 
one complete SSL/TLS network packet". It appears that one time through the decrypt 
method decrypted small packets with almost no data in them, leaving encrypted data 
waiting. As an experiment, I changed the code in isAppInputReady in SSLIOSession to call 
decrypt in a loop until everything in the en
crypted buffer was processed and bingo the response processed in under 5ms.

I was surprised not to find any other comments on this topic. Perhaps I simply a related 
topic somewhere? In any case, I'd be curious to know what the "correct" 
solution to this problem is.

Thank you very much

Scott


Hi Scott

This does sound like an issue with SSLIOSession. Could please raise a JIRA for it?

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE

You are also very welcome to attach your local changes as a patch to the JIRA ticket. If the server is publicly accessible could you please let me know the URL I could use to reproduce the problem?

Cheers

Oleg
