Well I'm sorry to hear you are having the problem too, but yet I'm glad someone else is seeing this. I was wondering if I'm the only person in the world that is using full https with java 1.6 applets...

I've been spending hours and hours trying to see if there is a bug written up on this but no luck. How about you?

Just to give an update of what I have tried.

The latest version of 5.5 tomcat 5.5.23 does not change the problem.

The latest version of java on the server side does not change the problem.

Adding -version:1.5 to the java control panel on the client doesn't seem to change the problem either.

I am seeing some strange memory thrashing problems with 1.6 that I don't see with 1.5 and for a while I thought I was running out of heap space down inside the https api layer but I'm ruling that out for now as I've seen the problem with a normal heap allocation.

Swinging a rubber chicken has absolutely no effect other than making my co-workers quicken their walking pace!

Please let me know what you have tried and perhaps your setup.

No, am not using jar indexing, that I know of.

Originally though it some network/router issue, since it was happening in one network, but since reproduced on other nets.

I thought it may have been related to the server certificate, since it wasn't valid. I had a custom trustManager to validate our internally gen'd cert. Have since got a valid cert, and removed the silver-tape, but that didn't work.

I had port numbers in URL, got rid of those. No change. (down to longshots!)

More information:

I now have line numbers, as I was able to dup this using the 1.6.0_02 early access snapshot.

I wanted to give an update to this problem as I am still seeing it and I've tried several ways of either fixing it or working around the problem.

Here is the latest:

For our https we created our certificates using our own CA using a now outdated version of OpenSSL. Sooo... I decided to update to the latest version of OpenSSL and make certain I created our CA and certificate the right way.

I used this, which is off of apaches FAQ page:

http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=106293430225790&w=2

After doing all of this, I can still recreate the problem.

At this point I'm waiting on Sun to respond/post a bug that I have created.

Please, if you have any more information on this, keep me posted.

-Dennis
