I am using wget to test a remote web server. wget sends a request to a health check jsp and then displays the results. The source of the wgets is a Windows XP workstation. The server runs Windows 2000 and Weblogic hosting a C++ DLL that fields the wget requests and sends the health check replies.
This process mostly works successfully, but at times, when serveral wget scripts are running concurrently, the wget hangs trying to make a connection. The hang looks like this: Connecting to wdwt3665|10.27.180.208|:8001... where normally the ellipsis would be followed by "connected" HTTP request sent, <etc> With some innocence, I tried changing weblogic server parameters, increasing the number of threads, and the percentage of threads used to process requestst, but this dod no good. With four concurrent requesters sending about one request per second, one requester hung and could not be interrupted. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on? Is this a problem at the requesting workstation end, or is the server running out of resources? Any idea? Thanks. Regards, Steve
