Http keepalive

[Pelle Andersson <pe...@its.uu.se>]

Hi,

I need to do many soap requests in a sequence from one host. Is it possible to 
use http keepalive whith apache-soap? To start a new http-session for each soap 
request will be very expensive, especially when using https.

It is not directly supported, but here is a pointer to a patch:

Here's come take-it-or-leave-it commentary on performance savings:

Apache SOAP does not support HTTP keep-alive.

Note that the expense with https also relates to the SSL 
implementation you use.  An SSL session *can* exist across multiple 
HTTP calls.  The Sun SSL implementations sometimes reuse existing SSL 
sessions across multiple HTTP calls, but other times do not.  I do 
not know why that is.
