Slow upload speeds

[Cunningham Emmett <ea...@yahoo.com>]

This is my first post to this group and I hope that it
makes sense. 

Using either Tomcat 3.2.1 or 3.2.4 and JDK 1.3.1_01
and my own or 
Jason Hunters Upload servlet there is a performance
problem when  
going from an IE client to a Solaris server. 

Versions Used:
	JDK 1.3.1_03
	IE 5.5
	NS 4.7
	Win2K SP2
	Solaris 8 patch level 108528-14
	Tomcat 3.2.1 and 3.2.4
	Jason Hunter Upload Servlet (release Jun 12,02)

Other combinations are fine.
IE -> Win2K server is 1MB/sec
NS -> Win2K server is 1.5 MB/sec
NS -> Solaris server is 3.5 MB/sec
IE -> Solaris server is  77 KB/sec

POST headers look like:
     Netscape
POST /DocUpload?name=foo HTTP/1.0
Referer: http://localhost/upload
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (WinNT; U)

Can somebody please explain this?
