Keep-Alive header not sent from Tomcat 5.5 http connector?
- by Codek
Hi,
We're currently using a hardware load balancer, which then goes to Apache and that then goes to Tomcat 5.5 via the AJP connector.
We've decided to dump apache for various reasons - In our current system it doesnt provide any advantage.
However when I look at the headers sent when we do this, the "Keep-Alive: timeout=15 max=96" header doesnt get sent when you use the tomcat http connector
Interestingly, i can find no documentiation on "keepalivetimeout" for tomcat5.5, but i can for tomcat6. But neither can i find evidence that tomcat5.5 doesnt support this setting.
here's my connector:
<Connector port="8090" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="400" minSpareThreads="150" maxSpareThreads="300"
enableLookups="false"
connectionTimeout="2" maxKeepAliveRequests="400" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
So; Is there any way I can specify the keepalive timeout if we use the http connector with tomcat 5.5, and force this header entry to be sent?
Thanks,
Dan
