The connections to these partner servers are not currently persistent. Setting keep-alive headers would be ineffective because the connections are necessarily closed when the PHP code exists, at the end of each transaction. Something like this:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="3C72B75E-89BB-4956-AB16-211CC00140DE" height="271" width="608" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:F4FF7E6D-C3EF-4980-A98F-2A3244F95B40@hsd1.nh.comcast.net." class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Now, we have a potential partner that requires persistent, re-used connections. Changing the system architecture so that the PHP code remains running is not an option. I was wondering if a proxy server, running on the same server as the PHP code, could keep the outside half persistent, even after the inside half closes. Like this:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="600DAB0B-9228-4248-9C2F-56A2DD4AD358" height="255" width="658" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:B8B17271-D377-42DF-8309-617F16BA701B@hsd1.nh.comcast.net." class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Is this possible? Is there a config option that might achieve this? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks!</div></body></html>
