I just did a little test, and couldn't help but notice that Zope claims to support HTTP/1.1, in that it will respond to a 1.1 request with a 1.1 response. It even did a persistent connection. However, when I sent a 1.0 request at it, including a Connection: keep-alive header, it still failed to do a persistent connection.
This code from ZServer/medua/http_client.py seems to imply that it should be persistent (only there's a bug somewhere preventing it): connection = string.lower (get_header (CONNECTION, self.header)) close_it = 0 wrap_in_chunking = 0 if self.version == '1.0': if connection == 'keep-alive': if not self.has_key ('Content-Length'): close_it = 1 else: self['Connection'] = 'Keep-Alive' else: close_it = 1 -- Itamar S.T. itamars@ibm.net
