Why "HTTP CONNECT" disconnects atfer 15 Mins in few proxy server ???

[Manjesh Gowda]

Hi all,
I am maintaing a persistent HTTP connection using the "HTTP
CONNECT" method ,
this works fine for many proxies like Squid, ISA , etc. But the
iPlanet proxy disconnects the conneciton after 15 mins. It fires the
HTTP 501 status code saying " Server Internal Error".

Is there any way the i can overcome this problem and maintain a
persistent HTTP connection or should i reconnect the socket for
certain time interval.

If i should reconnect the socket , is there any standard
implementation or algorithm which i can follow to maintain a
persistent HTTP connection.

ne help will greatly apppreciated.

Regards

Manjesh

I think you should probably ask the makers of the iPlanet proxy, don't you?
This has nothing to do with the C++ language, which is what we discuss here.
