Managing Connection Persistence

The following directives determine how the server handles persistent connections.

They are located in the “Global Environment” of the httpd.conf ﬁle.

■ KeepAlive

■ KeepAliveTimeout

■ MaxKeepAliveRequests

KeepAlive

Enables a single connection to accept multiple requests from the same client. The

default is set to “On”.

KeepAliveTimeout

Sets the number of seconds the server waits for a subsequent request before closing

a KeepAlive connection. Once a request has been received, the timeout value

speciﬁed by the TimeOut directive applies. The default is set at 15 seconds.

MaxKeepAliveRequests

Limits the number of requests allowed for each connection when KeepAlive is on.

If it is set to “0”, unlimited requests will be allowed. The default is set at 100.
