Hello, ------------------------ Problem Description: ------------------------ We are try to fetch files from the ESX server 4.0 through HTTP request using curl library in C program. I am using a single easy curl handle to fetch all the files to take advantage of persistent connection.
But, When tried to fetch more than 500 files from the ESX 4.0 using curl library fails. ------------------------ Cause : ------------------------ Each time while fetching a file a new connection is established. So when more than 500 connection is established and fetching of files stops. The established connections are not getting closed and they remain idle for 30 mins. ------------------------ Observation : ------------------------ HTTP Client request Sent: Host: dev-vcenter-4-2 User-Agent: gSOAP/2.7 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 504 Connection: close Cookie: vmware_soap_session=C762CF10-B1DF-427A-9E0C-9EB851FFDE3D;$Domain="dev-vcenter-4-2" Cookie: ;$Path="/sdk";$Domain="dev-vcenter-4-2" SOAPAction: "urn:vim25/4.1" HTTP Server Reponse Recieved : HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 13:36:29 GMT Set-Cookie: vmware_soap_session="C762CF10-B1DF-427A-9E0C-9EB851FFDE3D"; Path=/; Cache-Control: no-cache Connection: close Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 1934 ------------------------ Questions : ------------------------ 1. In all HTTP request sent and recieved observed Connection: close ? 2. How to make Connection : Alive and use the same connection to fetch all the files? What need to added specificalling in the code to do this ? 3.Why connections are not getting closed and they remain idle for 30 mins? Regards, SAM
