after a while, https not responding, but http responding

           Summary: after a while, https not responding, but http responding
           Product: Tomcat 4

          Platform: Other
               URL: https://www.planitas-

(I have worked in support areas and realise the nightmarish quality of this 
problem. I would appreciate any feedeback, even of the  "upgrade to Tomcat 5" 
variety).


We have https & http working on our Tomcat to serve servlets. We observe that 
after a few days we are unable to get responses from https but that the exact 
same url accessed via http gives normal responses. 
(The commercial process we are serving requires https so we cannot replace it 
with http).
There are no exceptions or error messages. By "no response" I mean that a 
browser such as IE is busy trying to open the page but after 6 or more minutes 
still has not succeeded or returned with an error.

Here is the server.xml excerpt:

<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
               port="443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true"
           acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"
               useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true">
      <Factory className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory"
               clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS" 
keystoreFile="/root/.keystore" />
    </Connector>

(BTW The online documentation does not seem to describe the 
disableUploadTimeout parameter).

Many Thanks.
