HTTP keep-alive

 [1/3] from: greggirwin::mindspring::com at: 12-Feb-2002 12:39


Hi Gang, Is there an easy way to change the HTTP-get-header to use keep-alive, instead of close, for its connection? Looking at the way the scheme is put together, and not really being a net-cnetric guy to begin with, I didn't see an obvious way. Why do I want to do this? Well, I'm talking to a box that has a server built into it and watching a couple other apps talk to it, I can see that they have keep-alive on, but REBOL doesn't. I'm not sure it will solve my problem, but if it's an easy thing to do, it's worth a shot. Thanks! --Gregg

This works: t: open/custom http://babelserver.com/ [header [Connection: "keep-alive"]] ...but when I say "works", I mean it makes an HTTP request with "Connection: keep-alive" in the header, but where to go from there, I don't know. I pasted it into the Rebol console, and it did keep-alive the connection, because I didn't get the prompt back without hitting escape. This probably didn't solve your problem, but I couldn't resist posting it anyway (finally it's me helping Gregg, and not the other way around!). ~H Dixit Gregg Irwin (20.39 12.02.2002):

Thanks Hallvard! << This works: t: open/custom http://babelserver.com/ [header [Connection: "keep-alive"]]

That works for me. I can use it with read/custom in my case. I don't know yet if it will solve my problem, but it does set keep-alive correctly! --Gregg
