Re: Persistent http connection

[Srinivas Murthy <the.srinivas.murthy@...>]

Appreciate all the discussion. I have experience with this before and yes its not simple to do it properly.

For now though, I'm in a tight time frame and need a simple solution that works with non - https solution. The closest I see is the curl wrapper that is mentioned. Any other ideas?

lua-http is gaining support for it soon

It's a much trickier problem than you may think at the surface!
especially once SSL is involved (and infact I have found bugs in
nginx's and curl's implementations while doing research for
lua-http's)
