I see via ethereal gsoap is using http continuation, and also keep
alive/io chunking in the http headers under both kernels. No errnos in
strace of servers or clients, and nothing in var/log/messages. Turning
DEBUG on in GSOAP shows no major difference in the .log files between
kernel versions.
Having the same problem on FC5t3 with kernel 2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5
One of the guys I work with has a lot of UNIX experience at the kernel
level and he is going to help me next week. I wonder if the server is
refusing to thread faster than 100 hz? Our GSOAP server is implemented
using pthreads.
Will run more tests early next week.
