| Summary | 0005436: implement curl connection pooling to enable keepalive | ||||
| Description | libcurl only does keepalive properly when we reuse curl_easy handles. Right now we create a new curl_easy handle every time. Instead there should be a pool. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I've checked, and our assumption for filing this report is wrong: curl DOES re-use TCP connections (with HTTP keep alive) even if the curl-easy handle is not pooled. I've created some wireshark snapshots against the exchange-lib testcases that clearly show that connection re-use does happen. It seems to require the client to be rather fast at issuing a subsequent request, so the timeout seems very small (maybe even none), but regardless this shows that easy-handle pooling isn't actually required to avoid using always fresh TCP connections. Closing. |
