This may seem strange, but is it possible to make HttpClient NOT send the "Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive" header?
I'm trying to write a test tool to load test an outside web service, but doing it in a way that is somewhat consistent with an internal application that will be calling that outside web service. My test tool can send the message multiple times so we can generate statistics on the roundtrip time. What I first noticed is that when I send N messages on a thread, the 2nd-Nth message is faster than the first one. After examining the protocol behavior in Ethereal, I noticed that HttpClient appears to be sending a "Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive" header. If I modified my test code to add a manual delay (9-10 seconds) between each message send, then the 2nd-Nth message timings were about the same as the first one. I'd prefer not to have that manual delay between each message. For the sake of getting consistent results, is there any way to disable the sending of the "Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive" header? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
