I've been trying to get persistent connections to work for my application running on Restlet 2.0m7, using the Simple server connector and the default client one.
To make sure that it behaved properly, I wrote a quick test that sends thousands of queries to the server and counted the number of open sockets using lsof - if my understanding of persistent connections is correct, I should see at most 4 or 5 open sockets, but I'm observing hundreds of them. Mind you, I'm seeing less open sockets than I'm sending queries, but I can't decide whether it's because connections are re-used or because they get closed eventually. I've tried setting the http.maxConnections to 1 on the client side, but that doesn't change anything. I'd file that as a bug, but I'm not convinced I understand persistent connections well enough - maybe this is the normal behavior and I'm missing something. Can anyone enlighten me on the matter ?
