Without keepalive, you should see the following traffic: - Client (browser) opens connection to proxy server - Proxy Server accepts connection - Client (browser) sends request - Proxy Server decides to proxy the request - Proxy Server opens connection to backend as client - Backend server accepts connection - Proxy Server (client) sends request) - Backend server generates response - Backend server sends response - Backend server closes connection - Proxy server (client) closes connection to backend - Proxy server sends response to client (browser) - Proxy server closes connection to client (browser) - Client (browser) closes connection I am not network guy, but that's what I am used to seeing. regs, Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
