'''Q: Does Axis support the HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive header?'''

A: The [http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt HTTP 1.1 specification] makes mention of a Keep-Alive header to minimize the overhead associated with opening and closing HTTP connections. 

In practice, the Keep-Alive feature is not particularly valuable in a corporate setting because of proxy servers. 

Users wishing to use the Keep-Alive header should use the <noWiki>org.apache.axis.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender</noWiki> class in conjunction with the [http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/ Jakarta Commons HttpClient package].
