I have a problem that a request to Tomcat through IIS redirector is occasionally not responding and resulting in web site on IIS being locked out to everyone. Only the port being used is blocked i.e. if port 80 is blocked the web site is still available on 443 and any other web sites on the IIS machine are available. Tomcat can be accessed using anything other than the blocked web site/port. The block times out after about 5 minutes. The combination of software/hardware to cause this is IE5 or 5.5 Microsoft proxy server 2.0 / NT4 SP6a 128K connection IIS4 / NT4 SP6a IIS Redirector (any using ajp12 or ajp13) Tomcat 3.2.1 / NT4 SP6a We cannot reproduce the problem internally, only from a remote office but from there it can be made to happen within at most a couple of minutes. Netscape 4.7 works OK and putting a TCP Tunnel between IE and the proxy server resulted in it working! Using Apache 1.3.19 on the web server also works. The fact that the Web site is getting locked suggests that the problem is in the ISAPI layer i.e. iis-redirector. If if was simply the client failing I wouldn't be so concerned but because it can be used to block the web site it is potentially a very serious problem if it occurs a a client site. The inconsistent nature of the problem suggest some communication or timing problem. Has anyone ever seen this behavior or have any suggestions on where the problem might lie? thanks Graham Wright -- ************************************************************************* Information in this email is confidential and may be privileged.
