"It
turns out that this is a case where IE strictly follows the standards--
in this case, RFC2616,
which covers HTTP1.1. As noted in the RFC: Clients that use persistent
connections SHOULD limit the number of simultaneous connections that they
maintain to a given server. A single-user client SHOULD NOT maintain more
than 2 connections with any server or proxy. Saavy web developers can
take this connection limit into account and deliver their data from multiple
domains, since the browser will open up to two connections per domain."
I use Apache as a loadbalancer of Tomcat instances using mod_jk. The IP
in which Apache is has many hostnames and the final application (in Tomcat) sends a different response depending on the hostname (Header Host) of the request.
I used Jmeter on this server using only one hostname and with sufficient number of threads the connections just hangs. The strange thing is that
when this happens, I can't successfully request the site with a normal browser
(I suppose that's spected because there are many tcp connections open) BUT
if I use another hostname (that points to the same server) I can request the
site as usual. The other hostname just stop responding until I restart Apache. Does this mean that the max tcp connections are independent on the hostname?
Sorry if my english isn't very good. Just tell me if you didn't understand my question, please.
