one of my calls triggers a lengthy database operation on the server (140-240sec).
connecting directly, the client waits for the response. but when i have to go though a proxy, the call times out too fast. strange thing is, the time factor seems to depend on the client. apache soap, http: 30 sec apache soap, https: 120 sec * perl soaplite, http: 180 sec perl soaplite, https: 180 sec *(this combination was also tested and time confirmed by one of our testers, on a different proxy) i even tried SOAPHTTPConnection.setTimeout; but that didn't change anything. (i didn't expext it to, but my boss insisted). ah, yes: the errormessages themselves: apache soap + http says <HEAD><TITLE>Connection Timed Out</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="white" FGCOLOR="black"><H1>Connection Timed Out</H1><HR> <FONT FACE="Helvetica,Arial"><B> Description: Connection Timed Out</B></FONT> <HR> <!-- default "Connection Timed Out" response (504) --> </BODY> perl + soaplite says 500 read timeout what's going on here?
