Problem with different protocols and ports
Hi all, I got a peculiar problem on a apache tomcat 5.5 server: Several clients, which could use the wrong port for their protocol. On the server there is a http port on 8080, and a https port on 8443 as default. Unfortunately, on the clients there are possibilities to combine the protocol freely with a port, so It could be that they try to connect with https to 8080 (which results in a timeout on the client, triggering a error message), Or with http to 8443, which gets a rather unpleasant surprise, they get a page, without an error message, with some cryptic characters: [1][1] I would like to get a error message back ... can anyone help me?

RE: Problem with different protocols and ports
Unfortunately, it has to be open in case they use the ports on other apps. One of the selling points. Ok, then I just have to live with it.

What you *can* do is run your services on the standard ports - 80 and 443 - so that your users don't have to type in port numbers. Is there any reason you're not using the standard ports for this application? - Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
