IMO there's no way to do it without enumerating all your backend hosts. Apache needs to create a separate worker for each host at startup time.

Just in case you are actually looking at the headers, it should be "Connection: keep-alive" in the obsolete HTTP 1.0, and they are all persistent by default in HTTP 1.1 unless "Connection: close" is specified by any side. If SharePoint follows any standards, that is.

Hi,

We want to use Apache 2.4.x to proxy through to some SharePoint instances using NTLM logins.  From testing, it looks like the Apache-to-SharePoint connections need to be persistent, with "Connection: keepalive" in the request headers going from Apache-to-SharePoint.

We can do this using a directive:

ProxySet keepalive=On

inside a <Proxy [URL]> section, but we would like to do this (enable keepalive on the backend connections) on all of the backend connections.  But, if we try to put that ProxySet inside a <Proxy>, we get a startup error saying that it needs an absolute URL.

So I am wondering if there is a way to do this (make all the backend connections persistent with the "Connection: keepalive")?

Thanks,

Jim
