OK, I made a mistake there (sorry). The issue does still seem to be that connecting to a webapp over SSL is faster than connecting to another webapp over non-SSL, both running in the same Tomcat (JBoss) instance and proxied behind Apache.
Any ideas why the SSL version would be fast and the normal (HTTP) version not? > -----Original Message----- > From: Duncan Houston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 17 August 2004 18:03 > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Tomcat and Apache by Proxy http connections slow but https > fast > > > Some more info.
