Howdy. I'm new to Tomcat, and I'm having a bit of trouble finishing a setup for testing. I've "set up" the default installation - that is, unzipped it and run the batch file - and it works very well. However, the ride gets a bit bumpy when I try to enable HTTPS connections.
After generating the .keystore file and uncommenting the default port 8443 connector, Tomcat seems to start fine. The only notable difference is that a new connector is created (that should be a good sign). When I connect to my server at localhost using port 8443, though, it sends me a small piece of garbage in return. It always seems to be the same chunk of binary data; it looks like this (hexdump on x86): "1503 0100 0202 0a". Connections to port 8080 continue to work as advertised; connections to other (random) ports fail as expected. I've followed the instructions on setting up SSL several times. I've got a .keystore file in my home folder, and the HTTP connector is the default included with the Tomcat 5 binaries (sans comments). I'm open to the possibility that I'm repeatedly missing a step, of course. I've tried Tomcat 5.0.25 and .27 on both Windows 2000 and Linux, using IE and Firefox as clients; always the same results. The JVM is Sun's 1.4.2_04 on Linux, and 1.4.1_02 on Windows.
