I've been noticing that I'm receiving Keep-Alive headers from a server I'm
trying to access. I was looking for any built-in methods that will tell me the
status of this header flag and the closest thing I could find was
"HttpMethodBase.shouldCloseConnection()", but that's protected. Is there a
specific reason this isn't given a "public" scope?
I would like to be able to tell if a connection should be kept alive or not
(without manually having to look for the header, etc) so that I don't
explicitly close it via a "releaseConnection()" when I've completed executing
the http call. To the best of my knowledge a call to "releaseConnection()"
will cause the connection to close without regard of any Keep-Alive header
values - please correct me if this understanding is wrong.
