Correct. > I suppose another method would be to use two separate $ua's - one with > keep-alives, and the other without. Yes. You can also just provide your own 'conn_cache' object. All that is needed is an object that implements the: $cache->deposit($type, $key, $conn) $conn = $cache->withdraw($type, $key) interface. You can then refuse deposits for connections where you don't want keep-alives by looking at the key. Regards, Gisle
