title: WAS Liberty & Atmosphere long-polling 1 min delay
body: <p>I have been testing Atmosphere on WAS Liberty, and it is all working fine on Liberty 8.5.5.4.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to upgrade to Liberty 8.5.5.5 or 8.5.5.6, there is a 1 min delay on the initial connection.</p>
  
  <p>The problem can be easily replicated by downloading the atmosphere-chat-2.3.3.war from maven central. Rename to atmosphere-chat.war, change the <code>application.js</code> to have <code>transport = 'long-polling'</code>. Copy modified war in liberty dropins folder. Start server, go to <a href="http://localhost:9080/atmosphere-chat/" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:9080/atmosphere-chat/</a></p>
  
  <p>I think this might be a bug with async processing in Liberty, but maybe the Atmosphere or IBM guys know better. I can't quite figure it out, so I am staying on 8.5.5.4 for now.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone can shed some light. It would be great.</p>
