Hello, I face a strange behavior that I cannot explain to myself and I need your help.
I use JMeter 5.2.1 to load test a Spring Boot 2.2.6 application with embedded Tomcat 9.latest. When using plain HTTP connector the connect time (& latency) are pretty low: - connect time: less than 1ms - latency: 2-3ms But when I use HTTPS (with Apr 1.7.x & OpenSSL 1.1.1f) the values are *much* bigger - around 3000ms. The application is running on host A and JMeter on host B, both in the same local network. The certificate is self-signed and registered in JDK's cacerts on both machines. The application exposes several REST endpoints without any authentication. JMeter is configured to use Keep-Alive for the requests. I have the feeling it is related to the self-signed certificate but I am not sure. There is no such issue if I use 'ab' or 'wrk' - the connect is instantaneous for both http and https. Do you have any idea what could be wrong in my setup ? Thank you! Regards, Martin
