Lightstreamer js call alternative

[avinashghodke]

Hi,
Thanks for the reply I have few more questions.
1. Can we redirect lightstreamer request through apache web server, do we have any connector between apache webserver and lightstreamer like MOD_JK is there for tomcat.
I want this so that we can use apache HTTPS for lightstreamer also, as our security team is not ready to open a new port (9090 lightstramer port)

Thanks,
Avinash J Ghodke

Hi Avinash,

I can confirm that the offloading of ssl operations is absolutely viable.
We are aware of many cases in which this choice was made but usually they relied for offloading the encryption algorithms involved in SSL transactions on a hardware accelerator, maybe even directly managed by the load balancer.

Indeed I am not sure this could be implemented using Apache Web Server, and are not aware of anything like mod_jk for Lightstreamer server.
In any case please be aware that any device placed in front of the Lightstreamer server should be configured in such a way that data packets are forwarded to the clients immediately, without any buffering. Buffering the response will make the client switch from streaming mode to polling mode.

Regards,
Giuseppe
