Oleg,

I'm not using Jetty, at least not in this project. The server I'm monitoring
is M$ IIS. Why are you asking?

Andre

Stupid me ;-) Actually HttpClient uses 3000ms timeout when expecting 100
(CONTINUE) status code. That has nothing to do with SSL and all my
conspiracy theories.

As now 'expect: 100-continue' is disabled per default, HttpClient treats all
100 status codes it receives as unexpected. This is perfectly ok. Some HTTP
servers do send 100 (CONTINUE) status code even if they are not asked to do
so.

Are you using Jetty by any chance? 

Oleg

HI!

I got the latest nightly build. The times are no more constant, and the
performance is now ok. There is a new message in the log:
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod - Discarding unexpected response:
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

Why is it discarding? Is the server sending me this anyway, or the
httpclient is sending the header Expect 100: continue with my post data?

Best regards,

Andre

Recently there has been an SSL vulnerability discovered related (very
roughly put) to the time it takes the server respond to an invalid
authentication request. For more details refer to

http://lasecwww.epfl.ch/memo_ssl.shtml

I would not be too surprised if newer SSL implementation developed some
pre-emptive measures against similar exploits by trying to equalize response
time. It's just a wild guess on my part. By no means being a security expert
I may be wrong about it.

Thanks Michael,

I´m trying to send it again, this time as zip file. 

About the poor performance, I'm measuring time only after receiving the 100
server response, in the second step of the handshaking process. In the C++
version I have, I don´t know if it does or not the 100 handshaking - I don't
have the code. Anyway, it´s much faster, and I don´t believe it´s because
it´s implemented in java. The http version has similar times in the java and
C++ version. Can you point me a similar jsse implementation?

What about the constant times? It´s the weird thing. It takes the same time
in the first part of the negotiation, when it send the 100 header, and in
the second part - actually when the request is processed in the server. Any
explanations?

Regards,

Andre

Hello André,

Unfortunately it seems that the attachments were stipped from your 
message.  Jeff, Oleg do you have any idea how we can get this fixed?

I'm guessing the poor performance with SSL is due to the "Expect: 
100-continue" header.  Try calling setUseExpectHeader(false) on the post 
method.  I would also suggest using the latest code from CVS or a 
nightly build.
