Hi Devs,
I would like to know what is the KeepAlive handling strategy used in HTTP
Core 4.1-alpha1. How does HTTP Core deal with KeepAlive connections at
server side and the client side? Is there a way to configure this behavior?
The article at [1] mentions about a class/interface called
ConnectionKeepAliveStrategy. Does the latest 4.1-alpha1 contain this
feature?
Your response is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Hiranya

Hiranya,
HttpCore components keep connections alive indefinitely both on the
client and the server side. ConnectionKeepAliveStrategy interface is
provided by HttpClient only and is a client specific extension. It is
not available in the core components. If you want to enforce a
keep-alive limit of some kind you have to build this kind of logic into
the protocol handlers used by your application.
I suppose your are only interested in the NIO side of things. There is
an effort to provide a full fledged asynchronous HTTP client based on
HttpCore NIO, similar to what HttpClient is for HttpCore classic, but it
is presently in a VERY, VERY, VERY early development stage:
