I am running a servlet under Tomcat4. The (HttpURLConnection) connection.connect() statement takes a long time, about 20-30 seconds, to finish. But when I run the URL in IE, it takes a second or two to get the response. How do I get around this? Thanks.

It doesn't sound right. Tomcat is also using proxy. The IE and Tomcat app are referring to the same external URL. If it is cached by the proxy server, both should benefit.

Can not test IP because it's an external URL with name only.

But once the resource is accessed once on Tomcat, later access are much faster because connect has been executed, even though the URL is slightly modified with different parameters. But my question is still why does it take that long to connect to an internet resource.

Thanks.

DNS lookup? What if you try the IP address instead of the hostname, does it go a lot faster then? If so, that's a sure sign of a DNS lookup/config problem.



Or, another possibility: could it be that IE is using a proxy server, but Tomcat is going direct? and maybe the proxy server already has the page cached?
