keep-alive with HTTPS

["Jesus M. Salvo Jr." <je...@migasia.com>]

I was re-reading the SSL guide today and it mentions about "*Persistent 
SSL connections do not work on Sun's JVMs below 1.4".*
However, the details for that section is actually talking about HTTP 
keep-alive ( and then talks about stale SSL connections ).

So I am a bit confused now. Is / Was the problem with the JVM itself ( 
that is, with HttpURLConnection ), or was it with JSSE ?
Since HttpClient is creating its own socket ( and does not use Java's 
URLConnection ), then the problem with HTTP keep-alive should not 
affected HttpClient
( assuming it was a problem with HttpURLConnection ).

Reason I ask is that we are still running JDK 1.3.1_08 on Solaris SPARC.

Anyway, I'm still confused.
Anyone care to enlighten me ?

Thanks

John
