http-client-config() SAF (obj.conf File)

The http-client-config function configures the Proxy Server’s HTTP client.

The syntax of this function is as follows:

Init fn=http-client-config
  keep-alive=(true|false)
  keep-alive-timeout=seconds
  always-use-keep-alive=(true|false)
  protocol=HTTP Protocol
  proxy-agent="Proxy-agent HTTP request header"

The settings are:

• keep-alive– (Optional) Boolean that indicates whether the HTTP client should attempt to use persistent connections. The default is true.

• keep-alive-timeout– (Optional) The maximum number of seconds to keep a persistent connection open. The default is 29.

• always-use-keep-alive– (Optional) Boolean that indicates whether the HTTP client can reuse existing persistent connections for all types of requests. The default is false, meaning persistent connections will not be reused for non-GET requests or for requests with a body.

• protocol– (Optional) HTTP protocol version string. By default, the HTTP client uses either HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1, based on the contents of the HTTP request. Do not use the protocol parameter unless you encounter specific protocol interoperability problems.

• proxy-agent– (Optional) Value of the Proxy-agent HTTP request header. The default is a string that contains the Proxy Server product name and version.
