Some more info. The problem does not seem to be with HTTP vs HTTPS (was testing app A on HTTPS, app B on HTTP B - problem seems that A is faster than B whether on HTTP or HTTPS).
I have a number of .war files deployed to JBoss's /deploy directory (automatic deployment). Let's call them A and B, and let's say each has an image folder. Accessing an image from inside A's folder is fast, but accessing an image from B's folder is slow. Proxy setup appears to be the same for both apps. > -----Original Message----- > From: Duncan Houston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 17 August 2004 17:19 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Tomcat and Apache by Proxy http connections slow but https fast > > > Hi > > Background: Firstly I should state that I am running Tomcat 4.0.1 > with JBoss > 2.4.4, Sun JVM 1.3.
