Keep-Alive

[fredericvillemi]

Hi,

We are asked to disable Keep-Alive in our Qlikview Server application.

We are using QVWS

Is it something we can do in the QVWS configuration ? or should we do it elsewhere ?

What will be the disadvantages ?

Thanks

What do you mean by Keep-Alive? What are you trying to do?

I would like to set the HTTP Keep-Alive parameter to OFF

[Bill_Britt]

There is no HTTP Keep-Alive. The AJAX is static unless someone is clicking or refreshing the document.

Well, when you configure a web server, you can say if you want the page to have a HTTP KEEP ALIVE header or not

See Apache configuration :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/fr/mod/core.html#keepalive

Or IIS Configuration :

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772183(v=ws.10).aspx

In the Qlikview Web Server, i can't find this setting to disable the Keep Alive

Tests in my company show that it is set to ON (when they request a page from qlikview, they header shows a keep alive = on)

I would like to set it off

Yea, that is different that a regular Keep alive that will keep a session from timing out. Most of the setting in the QVWS webserver is hard coded so I don't know of a way.

The 2 only solutions I can think of are:

* use IIS instead of QVWS

* make the connection to QVWS go through a proxy server that will strip the http header from the response. Be aware that it will break the windows authentication if you use it.

By the way, why do you want to get rid of the keep-alive header?
