That'll be the 'notoriously quirky' HttpUrlConnection will it? Whose keep-alive support is so well renowned (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4325987.html) that configuring your server to ignore keep-alive requests from that user agent is a good thing > > c) No. We don't plan to do that any time soon. > I am all for keep-alives, but dont want to go near HttpUrlConnection.
