Colleagues, I'm interested in having HTTPS provide low-response time web browsing over long latency links, such as Satellite. As you know, the extra handshakes required by TLS tend to increase the response time. As such, some colleagues and I have put together a test bed and are looking at sniffer traces from various browser/web server combinations to see whether implementations are using the best features of HTTP and TLS to achieve low response time. Initial results indicate that they are not using best practice. I see from the TLS working group that there is already an informational RFC (2818) regarding the use of HTTP over TLS, but that this document does not address performance issues. Would anyone on this mailing list be interested in seeing the results of our testing as they become available? Would anyone be interested in reviewing/contributing to an informational RFC recommending best practice for low response time? Doug.....................
