Subject: Http persistent connection with applets-----please help!
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 06:44:04 PST
Hello Java Secuity Team Members,
I am developing an Java applet-based chat application to supplement
online shopping.This is like a product.
For clients who are behind a firewall an HTTP based connection is
required to by pass the proxy server.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol originally allowed only one request per TCP
connection. However, establishing a TCP connection is fairly expensive
time wise, so I need an HTTP keep-alive to improve efficiency.
As of me, Netscape has URL connection keep-alives.But I don't from what
version does it support it? Would you please let me know about it.
What is the time interval of keep-alive cache?
Does MSIE and other browsers like Oracle browser also support it ?
I shall be highly grateful to you, if you could show me a way out for
applets to do HTTP based keep-alive connections
Any feasible solution that I can do with JDK1.0.2 or JDK1.1 or any third
party appplication and if not that, refer me to any other suitable
resource.
Eagerly waiting for your reply,
Thanks in anticipation of your reply,
With warm regards,
Sincerely,
Qureshi
