That makes sense. Which then implies there is some type of bug here, as it never finishes and returns because the client is being told there is a chunked result, but it only gets one chunk (b/c the response in this case is so small). I'm likely doing something wrong, but it isn't obvious to me what it is b/c I'm not doing anything all that complicated. > > As, I'm not sure to be fluent enough in english, please feel free for more > details, or explanations. > > I actually have an if clause in there to check whether to use SSL or not (I > > snipped it out of the msg b/c it didn't seem relevant. > > Would simply specifying HTTP or HTTPS automagically still do the right > > thing and pick the appropriate Netty service? > > > Yes, it must be automagic :) : > component.getServers().add(Protocol.HTTPS, port); > Cool. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2928465
