Tomcat 3.3, SSL and short handshake

[Yuriy Stul <yu...@bladefusion.com>]

Hello,
I have Tomcat 3.3 with activated SSL.
 
Everything works fine (HTTP, HTTPS).
 
A problem is: when user connects with server via Microsoft Internet
Explorer then Tomcat throws exception (SSL socket, socket was closed)
but continues to work.
 
I think I found problem - IE does two handshakes - usual (long and
full), then closes socket and does short handshake (it is normally
according to SSL protocol).
 
In Tomcat 4.0.4 I didn't see this problem.
 
My question is how to prevent output of this exception in Tomcat 3.3?
 
Thanks in advance.

=====================

The best way is probably to use the CoyoteConnector2 from Tomcat 3.3.2-dev
(aka nightly).  This has the best SSL support in the Tomcat 3 line (it's
basically the same as the Tomcat 4.1.x code).
