Case closed

Thank you all for your help with the form. We were able to resolve all of the issues with the application. I have removed the two postings from my front page to cut back on the incoming messages now. :-) As far as the HTTPS performance is concerned, there is nothing I can do about that. The general lesson is: Don't let the application server handle the encryption but rather offload that to specialized hardware. The only short term solution here is to revisit the requirements.
