Slow https connection with application server 7

Hi

we have an applicaiton that connects to an external https site.

it has been working fine until about 2 weeks ago when the connection

time went from and 800ms to 40000ms.

as far as we can tell ther is no network problem and and it is a problem with

the applicaiton server itself.

what seems to happen is the application does a HttpURLConnection.connect

call and the server sits around and does nothing for about 20-40 seconds

befure finnaly working and the rest of the job goes very quickly.

has anyone come across anything like this?

our applicaiton is running on sun AS 7EE

on a ultrasparc based sun machine runing solaris 9.

I can only think of http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6195183, having anything to do with your issue. Check if your appserver 7 is downloading something from the external site. By the way, this bug is fixed in 7.1ur5.
