Hi,

I'm just considering an update to our workers.properties for the mod_jk
Apache plugin.

I'm not entirely sure what the difference between the socket_timeout and
reply_timeout handling is, if any.

socket_timeout is described as:

Socket timeout in seconds used for communication channel between JK and
remote host. If remote host does not respond inside that timeout the JK
will generate an error, and retry again. If set to value zero (default)
the JK will wait for infinite on all socket operations.

whereas reply_timeout is:

Reply_timeout property told webserver to wait some time for reply to a
forwarded request before considering the remote tomcat is dead and
eventually switch to another tomcat in a cluster group.

These sound very similar concepts to me, should you set both to the same
time?  Or only ever set one of them?  Or am I missing a crucial
distinction here?

Mark
