SSL connection is very slow

Hi,
I'm using SOAPUI 4.5.1 and I have a very annoying issue with SSL (HTTPS) connections.
When I send a SOAP msg over HTTPS, the connection takes 4-5 seconds longer than in case of HTTP.
The problem is on SOAPUI side, I checked in wireshark, that after the first TCP call SOAPUI waits 4-5 seconds till it sends the ClientHello SSL message.
Does someone faced this issue?
If yes, then what is the solution? What do I do wrong?

Regards,
Peter

    Hi,
    This post is about the server-side slowness of https query. What I see in SOAPUI is a client side issue, since the server answers immediately to the first TCP packet, and SOAPUI waits 4-5 seconds to send the next message to the server.

    Ok. Do you see the timings(the delay you are talking about) in the soapui logs? May be it requires some more searching to findout or bringing tho soapui team may take some action.

    Hi,
    At the moment I'm going through the source code of SOAPUI.
    It's sure that something hangs for about five seconds right after getting the SSL socket from the socket factory.
    I'll come back as soon as I have something....

    Hello gruncipro,

    Did you have the solution for this?

    I'm using soapui 4.0.1 and soapui is waiting 20sec to send the SSL first Hello. I confirmed with wireshark.
    I tried the same test with cURL and I get a instant Hello sent from it.

    I have installed soapui 4.0 and soapui sends the Hello after 6 seconds.
    I see the same time as you in soapui 4.5.

    soapui guys,

    Do you have any solution for this?

    Thx,
