Per default the protocol in server.xml is configured as protocol="HTTP/1.1". with newer tomcat versions this will use a non blocking protocol if possible.
Problem: Setup Tomcat (8.0.28) with default settings. Copy a file in a webapp e.g. webapps/root and download the file with limited speed to simulate a slow modem download. wget http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/xxxxxxx/7.zip --limit-rate=1k Connection will be closed always after 6minutes and 24seconds Saving to: '7.zip' 7.zip 0%[ ] 767.99K 1.00KB/s in 6m 24s 2015-10-28 17:27:39 (1024 B/s) - Connection closed at byte 786426. Retrying. if i change the protocol to (blocking): protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" everything is fine and the download will complete with slow speed. If the change the speed (default HTTP/1.1) the time after the connection is closed is different (e.g. for 7kb/sec it will always close after 3minutes and 21sec). If the speed is 8kb/sec or higher the download seems to be stable with both protocols. What could be the issue? Best Regards
