Can http monitor use Keep-Alive?

Is the connection reused when specified "Connection:Keep-Alive"?     Should I specify "Connection:Close"?

Thanks for clarifying, Aaron.

 

 

It was my understanding as well that LTM would not re-use a monitor connection even if it was specified as a Keep-Alive connection.

 

 

Best practice is to specify either HTTP 1.0 or Connection: Keep-Alive to keep the connection to the server from remaining open longer than necessary.
