Assembly:  System.Http (in System.Http.dll)

Syntax

Public ReadOnly Property KeepAlive As Boolean
public bool KeepAlive { get; }

    bool get ();
}
member KeepAlive : bool with get
function get KeepAlive () : boolean

Property Value

Type: System. . :: . .Boolean
true if the connection should be kept open; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If an HTTP client and server expect to exchange data multiple times in a short time period, a persistent connection speeds up their communications by allowing them to avoid the overhead required to open and close a TCP connection for each message. For clients using HTTP/1.1, the default value for this property is true.
