Secure SOAP web service consumed with HttpWebRequest
taking 30-40 seconds for the first request. Subsequent requests are fast (1-2 seconds).
Nothing wrong on the webservice side as it's responding within same time for all the requests. Log shows request takes time to reach to the web service and I am not sure what is causing this delay.
What can be the issue?
Could the web service requiring client certificate to authenticate be causing this delay?
