I'm having trouble figuring out why, when using SOAP UI to send requests from my machine to a remote one, it takes a long time to run. Now, it takes a while to get the response back, as the machine isn't exactly fast, but the problem is that there's another bottleneck somewhere, in that despite it taking < 1 second, on average, to complete a request, the Transactions Per Second is distinctly below 1.
Looking at the logs, I find that two particular lines are roughly 800 ms apart, which seems very, very odd as they're not part of the actual request. This *never* happens when my local machine targets my local machine, only when I'm targeting a particular remote one. Log lines for my local machine: 18:29:33,518 DEBUG [DefaultHttpParams] Set parameter http.protocol.version = HTTP/1.1 18:29:33,518 DEBUG [DefaultHttpParams] Set parameter http.socket.timeout = 60000 18:29:33,595 TRACE [PostMethod] enter PostMethod.clearRequestBody() 18:29:33,595 TRACE [EntityEnclosingMethod] enter EntityEnclosingMethod.clearRequestBody() 18:29:33,601 TRACE [EntityEnclosingMethod] enter EntityEnclosingMethod.renerateRequestBody() 18:29:33,601 TRACE [HttpClient] enter HttpClient.executeMethod(HostConfiguration,HttpMethod,HttpState) 18:29:33,601 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager] HttpConnectionManager.getConnection: config = HostConfiguration[host=https://localhost:8181], timeout = 0 18:29:33,602 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager] Getting free connection, hostConfig=HostConfiguration[host=https://localhost:8181] For the remote machine: 18:36:14,504 DEBUG [DefaultHttpParams] Set parameter http.protocol.version = HTTP/1.1 18:36:14,504 DEBUG [DefaultHttpParams] Set parameter http.socket.timeout = 60000 18:36:15,427 TRACE [PostMethod] enter PostMethod.clearRequestBody() 18:36:15,427 TRACE [EntityEnclosingMethod] enter EntityEnclosingMethod.clearRequestBody() 18:36:15,427 TRACE [EntityEnclosingMethod] enter EntityEnclosingMethod.renerateRequestBody() 18:36:15,428 TRACE [HttpClient] enter HttpClient.executeMethod(HostConfiguration,HttpMethod,HttpState) 18:36:15,428 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager] HttpConnectionManager.getConnection: config = HostConfiguration[host=https://192.168.2.71:8181], timeout = 0 18:36:15,430 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager] Getting free connection, hostConfig=HostConfiguration[host=https://192.168.2.71:8181] See how it takes nearly a second to get from logging the timeout to logging the clearRequestBody() message? Any idea what could possibly cause this? I'm assuming that it must be communicating with the server in some fashion, but I'm not really sure why/how - if someone could give me a basic idea of what it's likely trying to do, that would be fantastic. Bear in mind that I'm not actually using this in my own code, but rather using SOAPUI, which in turn makes use of HttpClient. However, since the issue appears to come up in the HttpClient code, I'm asking this here in addition to asking it in the SOAPUI forums.
