Re: Is it possible to use some kind of connection pool manager with libhttp

Jon,

We can't force the server to do something that it doesn't allow....?!    But, most servers do allow it.

You mention doing this on the server, which confuses me as you have never struck me as the sort to write your own server.  I wonder if you're confusing persistent HTTP with persistent CGI? These are two different things.  Persistent HTTP has to do with reusing the network connection, whereas persistent CGI has to do with reusing the server job.

I know how to do this when I am serving up the web service Scott - but how do you initiate that as the client? Does the server not have to allow it?

Mohammad,

If you are making requests to the same server, repeatedly, you can improve performance dramatically by using persistent HTTP. This is similar in some ways to the connection pooling concept -- instead of starting a new connection for every request, you re-use an existing connection.

We are using libhttp and YAJL, We are trying to improve the performance of
REST API calls. Process will be calling the REST APIs 1000s of times in a
loop.

1. What is better IFS/memory buffer for performance? Use IFS write/read or
memory buffer when calling REST APIs?
2. Is there any http connection pool manager in libhttp like we have in
java with httpclient.
