[Go-essp-tech] Apache Http Proxy Configuration for esg-gateway.jpl.nasa.gov

[Nathan Hook]

Good Day Paul,

My name is Nathan Hook with the National Center for Atmospheric Research 
(NCAR) and I have been working with a colleague of yours Luca Cinquini 
on a SSL Handshake problem with a product of ours.

I am hoping that if you have the time available you would be able to 
help me out a bit.

Currently a collaboration that I'm working on (with Luca and others) is 
having difficulties with a ssl handshake being too large for the Safari 
web browser buffer and therefore causing Safari users not to access our 
web application via ssl.  Which, is a problem.

Luca has mentioned that the esg-gateway.jpl.nasa.gov site is proxied 
behind an Apache Http server and it seems as though that configuration 
does not cause the same buffer problem for Safari that a stand alone 
Apache Tomcat server does.

Would you be willing to share with us your configuration settings for 
both apache and tomcat so we can attempt to duplicate your environment 
here on our test servers and see exactly what is happening during a ssl 
request?

Thank you for your time Paul.

Regards,

Nathan Hook
