After I commented the following lines in httpd.conf, the KeepAlive on a HTTPS server was working. #BrowserMatch "Mozilla/2" nokeepalive #BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 ...... #SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \ # nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown # nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ # downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 but I am not sure what is the negative impact of this disabling. If you know it, please let me know.
