Hi Jay,

I don't understand what the "Keep-Alive" HTTP header has to do with the 
problem you're describing? Are you having problems with persistent 
connections timing out?

I thought the problem was with the connection being reset. I wasn't even 
aware that you were using persistent connections.

Technically, the keep-alive HTTP header should be ignored by any HTTP/1.1 
compliant web server. It's an older, HTTP/1.0 keyword. HTTP/1.1 is 
persistent by default, and that functionality is turned off by specifying 
Connection: close (instead of being turned on by specifying a keep-alive 
value)

If you wanted to specify this keyword with HTTPAPI, you could do so by 
registering an "additional header" exit proc, and adding the Connection: 
keep-alive and keep-alive: 300 data to the header.

However, I'll say this again: This doesn't seem to have anything to do 
with the symptoms that you describe.  I don't see how HTTPAPI could have 
problems where other programs don't -- I didn't write my own TCP/IP stack 
for HTTPAPI! I use the one in the operating system.
