in reply to http 1.0 keep-alive and mod_perl

Why is that?

A bunch of reasons, one of which is http 1.0 did not support keep-alive

HTTP 1.0, by default, does not support persistent connections. ...While some implementations HTTP/1.0 supports persistence through the use of a keep-alive, there is no official specification for how the keep-alive operates.

Is there a way to configure mod_perl so that a keep-alive header is honored when using http 1.0?

Probably maybe :)

    Evidently apache is one of those implementations as it works with static content.

    I simply would like to understand why there is a difference between static content and mod_perl content here.

      Great, please let us know when you figure it out :)
