Description Daniel

Build Identifier: jetty-7.5.4.v20111024

uname -a: Linux 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 31 13:22:04 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
java -version: "1.6.0_29"
That's standart Jetty7 setup with SSL. 
As testing with ab (apache benchmark tool) with these options:
ab -n 100 -c 1 -f TLS1 -Z RC4-MD5 https://remote/app/header.jpg
A lot of failed connections happen ("SSL read failed - closing connection").
This test is made to remote machine, as I test on local one I haven't reproduced it.
The second major thing is that the requested file should be at about 100-200Kb. As I tested with 20Kb problem doesn't happen, neither with 400Kb file.
There is the same problem when using RC4-SHA and AES128-SHA.
As I tested same request to jetty 6 setup - there are no failing connections.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.execute to remote machine "ab -n 100 -c 1 -f TLS1 -Z RC4-MD5 https://remote/app/header.jpg" where header.jpg is between 100 and 200 Kb.
