title: WebSphere http outbound socket configuration
body: <p>We are running a performance test on a WebSphere 8.5.5.1 application server that calls many external SOAP services.  Running netstat we notice that the server is only creating a max of 50 outbound connections.  </p>
  
  <p>We are trying to increase this value but cannot find the correct property.  We have increased the Default pool but this doesn't seem to apply.  </p>
  
  <p>The WebContainer pool size is also set to higher than 50 and we can see this pool grow.  Is there some hidden pool that is defaulting to 50?</p>
