The port number should not be necessary in the URL if connecting to the default web ssl port of 443. Virtually all browsers know 443 is the default port to use for https protocol connections. Doesn't hurt to specify the port -- just shouldn't be necessary. It's like having to spec port 80 for a standard http request. I'd recommend taking a look at the tomcat server logs. They may shed some light on what happened from the server end.

Hey Tony Sounds like you forget to add the port when you connect. I tried this out on my tomcat installation. When I connect without specifying the port, I get the same error message. So, in your case, connect to https://localhost:443/[mywebappdocbase].

SSL Failure on Tomcat 5.5.12






I just installed Tomcat 5.5.12 on Windows XP (from the .exe install). I created and have a working webapp with servlets on the http port (80). I carefully followed the instructions on the apache tomcat website for setting up a SSL https connection. I followed it in every detail, creating my own certificate using keytool (as explained both on the apache site and right there in the server.xml file). In server.xml I set the http connector to port 80 and the https connector to port 443. All normal http requests work fine. But when I try to connect to https://localhost, the browser (Firefox) just displays "Loading" and ultimately I get a popup alert of "The connection to localhost has terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transferred." While the browser is "loading" I can bring up a Command Window and issue a netstat -a -n command and I can see that there is an established socket connection on port 443. But nothing happens. Any help is surely appreciated. By the way, o n a different PC (also Windows XP) I used netbeans (4.1) to develop a webapp, and on that I did the same SSL procedure and it worked perfectly.
