Kennard Consulting updated HTTPCLIENT-1048:
-------------------------------------------
Attachment: ExpectTest.war
WAR demonstrating the problem
> PostMethod very slow 'out of the box' for /j_security_check
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1048
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1048
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.3
> Environment: Java 6, Tomcat 6, JBoss 5.1
> Reporter: Kennard Consulting
> Attachments: ExpectTest.war
>
>
> HttpClient's default settings include adding an...
> Expect: 100-continue
> ...header to every PostMethod. This seems to interact poorly with Tomcat's
> (and possibly other Java EE containers) FormAuthenticator. I tested on both
> Tomcat 6 and JBoss 5.1.0 (which I believe uses a fork of Tomcat). Testing
> both with/without the 'Expect' header I see '/j_security_check' login times
> of:
> With Expect header: 2012ms
> Without Expect header: 8ms
> So the default is some 250x slower. This can make a dramatic difference if
> you are using HttpClient to simulate logging in and retrieving information.
> I include a test WAR. To deploy it:
> 1. Copy into /webapps
> 2. Edit conf/tomcat-users.xml to enable the tomcat/tomcat username/password
> 3. Run Tomcat
> 4. Hit http://localhost:8080/ExpectTest
> 5. Log in as tomcat/tomcat
> 6. Hit 'Start Test'
> Regards,
