Well, I could be wrong, but I think it's ultimately up to the http server to decide whether it will keep the connection alive for a given request (depending on configuration/resources?). Check the httpd.conf of your Apache server (look for KeepAlive). So I think it's a good idea (independently of the Sprint problem you're facing) to write the client such that the server can refuse the keep-alive without crashing your client. As for Sprint, I do believe they support keep-alive for http sessions (it works fine for me with a laptop and a Vision PC Card, which in theory should be using the same infrastructure, no?).
