some timimgs : took 1500 milli seconds for all 19 packets to arrive at that web server, from the client's browser connected across a 'slow' cellular network.
took 2 ( two ) milli seconds for tomcat to balk at the incoming request and send back the RSP packet, after the first REQ packet sent into tomcat. eg. in plain terms tomcat started responding before all fragmented packets had even arrived at the web server ! --- On Fri, 9/4/10, Doug Herbert <dougy_herb...@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: Doug Herbert <dougy_herb...@yahoo.com> > Subject: Fragmented delivery of servlet request > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Received: Friday, 9 April, 2010, 3:09 PM > Thoughts welcomed on the following > problem : > > Centos 5.4, http 2.2.3, tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_3.2, > java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5 > > > A large servlet request, POST'ed from client to apache, > connected using proxy_ajp to ajp://localhost:8009. > > reassembled on server eth0 as 10766 bytes but only > partially sent to tomcat.
