Slow HTTP upload speed with IE and Tomcat on Solaris (works fine on Linux an 2003-10-17 - By Jonathan Eric Miller
Back
Can someone that has a Solaris box try this (see the file attachments on my
original message)? It works great on my Linux box. Could it be some kind of
buffering problem?
I noticed something else that is strange. Mozilla uploads/downloads faster
with SSL than without when using Tomcat 5 on Linux (4.4 MBs versus 3 MBs).
IE is substantially slower when using SSL. I noticed that Mozilla was using
AES-128 (See http://AES-128.ora-code.com). IE was using 128 bit too, but, I don't know how to check what the
specific cipher suite was that was being used. Also, IE seems substantially
faster at downloads than Mozilla. IE was 9.47 MBs where as Mozilla was only
3 MBs.
