http-keep-alive with SSL backend

[Sachin Shetty]

Hi,

We have SSL backends which are remote, so we want to use http-keep-alive to
pool connections to the the SSL backends, however it does not seem to be
working:

backend qa
      option http-keep-alive
      timeout http-keep-alive 30s
      server qa <IP>:443 maxconn 100 ssl verify none

I am monitoring connections to backend using netstat and I see the
connection to the backend immediately drops as soon as my front end request
finishes, any suggestions? Is it because of SSL backend?

Thanks
Sachin
