Connection keep-alive or close

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Why use in HttpTransportSE.java the property conection-closed? In android 4.0 
this cause a issue over 3g that close the socket, but if use conection 
keep-alive this works fine.

Try using KeepAliveHttpsTransportSE .. the default class needs to close the 
connection since it does otherwise not work with older android versions..

Hi , 

I think that the KeepAliveHttpsTransportSE it is not well implemented. 
Currently is setting the connection header when you call to the method 
getServiceConnection

serviceConnection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "keep-alive");

But as this calls is extending from HttpsTransportSE, when you call the method 
call, it will override your header:

        ServiceConnection connection = getServiceConnection();

        connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", USER_AGENT);
        // SOAPAction is not a valid header for VER12 so do not add
        // it
        // @see "http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/issues/detail?id=67
        if (envelope.version != SoapSerializationEnvelope.VER12) {
            connection.setRequestProperty("SOAPAction", soapAction);
        }

        if (envelope.version == SoapSerializationEnvelope.VER12) {
            connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", CONTENT_TYPE_SOAP_XML_CHARSET_UTF_8);
        } else {
            connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", CONTENT_TYPE_XML_CHARSET_UTF_8);
        }

        connection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "gzip");

The way to achieve the change on the header is by actually calling the method 
call, passing as parameter the list of header including the one for Connection.

Actually i am working on a pull request with some changes to improve the 
performance and memory usage (specially during creation of dump info for debug)
