I hope this is in the right category:



I have an applet that is receiving information from a servlet via HttpUrlConnection in an Intranet-environment. Everything works fine as long as the port is the default port (80).

The reading lasts up to 5 seconds - then the applet has read all the information.



Now I change the port to 8081 (I already tried others, but 8081 IS free) and the whole process lasts up to TWO MINUTES.
I tried reading the servlet from a normal browser-window (IE and NS - no applet) and everything is fine with BOTH ports. It's just the applet that refuses to work fast with another port than 80.



Additional Information:

* Java-Plugin 1.3.1_05 uses Proxy-Preferences of browser

* Web-Server on port 80 is IIS with isapi-redirector to Tomcat

* Web-Server on port 8081 is Tomcat



Code:

-------------------------



public Vector getReply(String myUrl,String params) {

Vector erg=new Vector();

byte[] bytes = params.getBytes();

try{

URL url = new URL(myUrl+params);

HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();


con.setDoOutput(true);

con.setDoInput(true);

con.setRequestMethod("POST");

con.setRequestProperty("Content-length", String.valueOf(bytes.length));



OutputStream out = con.getOutputStream();

out.write(bytes);

out.flush();



// Read the response

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(

new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));

while (true) {

String line = in.readLine();

if (line == null) break;

erg.add(line);

}

in.close();

out.close();

con.disconnect();

}

catch (Exception e)

{ ... }

return erg;

}
