Hi all,
I have a doubt on http and https requests. I have been thinking that http and https requests in message broker are handled by the same biphttplistener. I am in a situation where the https request are not working where as the http requests work fine on the same broker, but when we recycle the biphttp listener both the requests work fine. it happens the same way with https too.
HTTP and HTTPS are both listening on different ports but are they handled by different listeners internally within the biphttp listener.
Any ideas or information provided will be greatly appreciated. |

AFAIK, the same biphttplistener process handles both http and https..
Do you see any errors in your Event Viewer/syslog?
Also when the problem occurred where you able to hit the URL's through a browser.
How do you recycle just the biphttplistener (haven't tried it)? |

Thanks for the response.
IBM support was confused too on this question, Level 2 said that it would be only one listener and the same listener handles http and https requests in different way(unsecured and secured). And they said, when http requests do not work even https should not as they use the same listener.
IBM Hursely Lab has confirmed that it is the same listener that handles both http and https requests but uses multiple threads, that is the reason when http requests are not https requests work and vice versa.

By recycling the listener I mean to kill the process so that a new process comes up. This works for us all the time whenever we have a hung listener problem. |

| Is it possible that you have so many hung or in-use connections on http that there are none left for HTTPS? |
