I've developed the patch listed in http://bugs.php.net/44393 over the last few weeks, and I just thought I'd try to solicit some feedback. It's an enhancement to the Windows ISAPI module which allows Keep-Alive connections and chunked content-encoding. I'd sure love to get this incorporated into some upcoming PHP version.
We have a Windows server farm and some field panels that we just converted to report in via HTTPS rather than a proprietary protocol. I was checking the impact on the servers and was aghast at the number of socket ports sitting around in TIME_WAIT state, which led me to discover that the ISAPI module doesn't support keep-alive, which motivated me to figure out why... one thing led to another, and, voila, a patch (or two or three) was born. <http://bugs.php.net/44393>
