Hello,

I am currently having problems SSL that cause Apache to crash.  I am running
mod_ssl 2.7.2, Apache 1.3.14, jdk1.3, Windows 2000, and Tomcat 3.2.  Perhaps
this would be more appropriate for the Apache forum... but I suspect this
has something to do with the communication between Apache and Tomcat; BTW -
I am using mod_jk, rather than mod_jserv.  I would greatly value any input
to find a resolution to this problem. 

I have been tasked to set up SSL with Apache and Tomcat for my company's
application.  Ever since I have installed SSL, Apache intermittedly
crashes.... somewhat randomly.  I suspected it related to the ajp13
support... but now I am not so sure.  The only way I can reproduce this
application error consistently is with Internet Explorer as follows:

There is a page in our application that uses JavaScript to call another
servlet with window.open() and fill in the opener windows' form values.
Now, the very first time a user logs into the system using Internet Explorer
while running in SSL mode (i.e. - https://...) and executes this JavaScript,
Apache causes a program error and I am told to restart Apache.  Now, if I
just close the browser, or just wait for a little while and try to execute
the Javascript that calls the servlet, it works fine.  But the first time I
re-login to the system, this application error returns.

This same test does not cause the error on Netscape.  But, Apache does
eventually crash with Netscape as well.  I suspect this may be due to the
fact that IE delivers the pages a good deal faster than Netscape does...
especially the window.open part.

I believe this problem has something to do with our application seeming to
go from secure pages to pages containing non-secure items.  I say "seeming"
b/c all references to URLs within our application are in the form of
"/servets/..." rather than "http://servername/servlets", so I would expect
them to inherit SSL if the parent page is displayed in the format.  Any
ideas or suggestions to get to the root of this would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
---Tom Davies
