Keep-Alive

Disabling keep-alive might help your server if you suffer from a large number of open file descriptors.

• defaults:

server.max-keep-alive-requests = 128
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 30
server.max-read-idle = 60
server.max-write-idle = 360

• less...

server.max-keep-alive-requests = 8
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 8

• Disabling keep-alive

server.max-keep-alive-requests = 0

modules
