[This level of discussion belongs on tomcat-users, not here]. Think of a port number as similar to a telephone extension number within a company. What happens if two people answer the same phone line at the same time? They both say "Hello, [Robin,Joe]" at the same time. Chaos, babel, ensues. Similarly, only one thread - either an HTTP connector **OR** an HTTPS connector can answer and read from a given port number. Not both. There is, however, a facility for Tomcat to send a redirect from the HTTP port to the HTTPS port; see the comments about the "redirect" attribute in the distributed server.xml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
