Hello Alexander,

I agree that my implementation about "Connection: Keep-Alive" is incorrect. Thank you.

And as mentioned in the spec of "Persistent Connections"[1]:

.....

/The support for HTTP keep-Alive is done transparently. However, it can be controlled by system properties http.keepAlive, and http.maxConnections, as well as by HTTP/1.1 specified request and response headers.

The system properties that control the behavior of Keep-Alive are:

http.keepAlive=<boolean>
default: true
Indicates if keep alive (persistent) connections should be supported.

http.maxConnections=<int>
default: 5
Indicates the maximum number of connections per destination to be kept alive at any given time/
.....

Seems at least we should read this properties at first and then configure the http request head? I think this worths another patch for 499?

So we SHALL provide some kind of cache mechanism to support Persistent Connections, would you mind raise a separate JIRA about this issue? Thanks a lot.
Agree, I had an incomplete discussion with Alexander a couple of weeks ago, and it's time to resurrect the discussion again. I'll resume the discussion in the other mail.

---------------------------------------------

Hello,

I am working on HttpsURLConnection and noticed this JIRA report.

I went through the Java 5 Enhancements for Networking and could not found any statements for HttpURLConnection. Then I examined the HTTP protocol specification (RFC 2616 can be found at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt).
It says:
"HTTP/1.1 applications that do not support persistent connections MUST
   include the "close" connection option in every message."
The source file of HttpURLConnection implementation does not seem to support persistent connections. So recent changes made to the class

org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection

("Connection: close" --> "Connection: Keep-Alive") seem to be incorrect without implementation of support for persistent connections.

Thanks,
Alexander

Java 5 Enhancement: java.net.HttpURLConnection should send request head with a connection-field of "Keep-Alive" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HARMONY-499
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-499
     Project: Harmony
        Type: Improvement

  Components: Classlib
    Reporter: Richard Liang

    Priority: Minor
 Attachments: luni.src.net.diff

Hello,
java.net.HttpURLConnection should send request head with a default connection-field of "Keep-Alive". Currently in its implementation, it sends a connection-field of "close", but does not close its own socket after connection, which may cause low performance and strange behavior on some servers.
Best regards,
Richard
