As much as .25 of the .38 you're observing is in the ssl session init "handshaking". I implemented some mods to http.pm, along with a subclass of UserAgent, to obtain detailed timings (via Timer::HiRes) of the connection establishment phase vs. sending request to server vs. receiving response back. This shows the session init to be the real killer. If your client is making repeated HTTPS requests, it needs to do so using persistent connections. Make sure you're using HTTP 1.1 rather than 1.0. --- David Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED]
