Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the client requests a persistent connection.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Syntax
Remarks
If an HTTP client and server expect to exchange data multiple times in a short time period, a persistent connection speeds up their communications by allowing them to avoid the overhead required to open and close a TCP connection for each message. For clients using HTTP/1.1, the default value for this property is true.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates using this property.
Public Shared Sub ShowRequestProperties2(ByVal request As HttpListenerRequest)
Console.WriteLine("KeepAlive: {0}", request.KeepAlive)
Console.WriteLine("Local end point: {0}", request.LocalEndPoint.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("Remote end point: {0}", request.RemoteEndPoint.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("Is local? {0}", request.IsLocal)
Console.WriteLine("HTTP method: {0}", request.HttpMethod)
Console.WriteLine("Protocol version: {0}", request.ProtocolVersion)
Console.WriteLine("Is authenticated: {0}", request.IsAuthenticated)
Console.WriteLine("Is secure: {0}", request.IsSecureConnection)
End Sub
public static void ShowRequestProperties2 (HttpListenerRequest request)
{
Console.WriteLine("KeepAlive: {0}", request.KeepAlive);
Console.WriteLine("Local end point: {0}", request.LocalEndPoint.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Remote end point: {0}", request.RemoteEndPoint.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Is local? {0}", request.IsLocal);
Console.WriteLine("HTTP method: {0}", request.HttpMethod);
Console.WriteLine("Protocol version: {0}", request.ProtocolVersion);
Console.WriteLine("Is authenticated: {0}", request.IsAuthenticated);
Console.WriteLine("Is secure: {0}", request.IsSecureConnection);
}
