Persistent HTTPClient connections #264

Closed wranai closed 8 years ago

wranai commented 8 years ago

I can see there already is a keep_alive flag for fetch(), which keeps the iostream open upon finalization. If I set in_progress to false, I can do another fetch and it works, but it does so by opening a new connection first, even if was kept alive and could be re-used; it's rather wasteful, especially for HTTPS. I need to connect to only one server, and I think it's not unusual that we just need to access one or two APIs, so being able to re-use the connection would be very useful.

Hi. Yes that is a drawback indeed. However theres not much work to do to make it use persistent connections... I can not say when I get the time to implement it though.

By setting the keep-alive flag you should now be able to reuse connection for http and https :).
