Hi David,

 

 

LTM should be able to support a long lived HTTP-based connection if you set the TCP idle timeout on a custom TCP profile to a value that's longer than what you want an idle connection left open for. Any platform and version should support this configuration.

 

 

The best way to confirm exact support for your scenario would be to test it. If you don't have an LTM available to test, you could download the LTM v10.1.0 virtual edition and run it in VMware. See this page for details:
