jboss/tomcat on linux: request times out for client over VPN

[faria hassan <fa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm running jboss3.2.5/tomcat5 on linux 2.6.9-1.667, with default
configurations. When clients request web pages (static HTML) normally
(without being behind a proxy), there's no problem. If the request is made
over VPN, it times out. I have tried with small files (<4k) and very simple
HTML (no CSS or JS links) and that works fine. However, anything bigger
(like 40k gif) times out.
 Any suggestions?
Thanks
Faria

that is not the issue here. After further research, I have found that
anything over 1k is timing out. I can go to other websites, download megs of
data without problem.
I also ran tcpdump on the server. I see that the vpn client is requesting
over HTTP/1.0. According to release notes, Coyote is supposed to send back
in Http/1.0. I see the following happening:
Coyote sends the first few bytes, closes connection, but without waiting for
a response back from the client, it sends more bytes until the whole data is
sent. Is this the normal behavior?
FYI, I have tried setting "protocol=Http/1.0" in server.xml: Tomcat gave a
NullPointerException.
Thanks
Faria

It depends on how your VPN is setup.  I know my company starts 
throttling back my bandwidth when I try to transfer a file greater than 
2 meg.  The first 2 megs go through ok, but they tar-pit me after that 
so the remaining transfer can take forever.
