Installation issue - HTTPS connector always sends junk reply
Howdy. I'm new to Tomcat, and I'm having a bit of trouble finishing a setup for testing. I've set up the default installation - that is, unzipped it and run the batch file - and it works very well. However, the ride gets a bit bumpy when I try to enable HTTPS connections. After generating the .keystore file and uncommenting the default port 8443 connector, Tomcat seems to start fine. The only notable difference is that a new connector is created (that should be a good sign). When I connect to my server at localhost using port 8443, though, it sends me a small piece of garbage in return. It always seems to be the same chunk of binary data; it looks like this (hexdump on x86): 1503 0100 0202 0a. Connections to port 8080 continue to work as advertised; connections to other (random) ports fail as expected. I've followed the instructions on setting up SSL several times. I've got a .keystore file in my home folder, and the HTTP connector is the default included with the Tomcat 5 binaries (sans comments). I'm open to the possibility that I'm repeatedly missing a step, of course. I've tried Tomcat 5.0.25 and .27 on both Windows 2000 and Linux, using IE and Firefox as clients; always the same results. The JVM is Sun's 1.4.2_04 on Linux, and 1.4.1_02 on Windows. Thanks for any help, Jason - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fake https connector
We use BigIP to perform SSL duties for our website. We are about to add a filter to force all page accesses to be sure. The plan is to have two ports (9000 for regular requests and 11000 for secure requests). It would work like this: Request comes in on port 80 to BigIP. It would send the request to port 9000 on the tomcat. The filter would check the scheme. It is not https, so it would redirect to the same URL with the scheme of https. BigIP would receive the redirected request on port 443. It would decrypt it and send it to port 11000. I see where it has the scheme and secure parameters on the standard connector. I was thinking that I could use a regular connector, but change scheme to https. This would give my filter what it needs and still allow BigIP to perform decryption. However, when I do this, requests to https (443) hang. They never get through. Any ideas? = Norris Shelton Software Engineer Sun Certified Java 1.1 Programmer Appriss, Inc.
