Differences Between HTTP Long Connections and Short Connections

Differences Between HTTP Long Connections and Short Connections

Concept HTTP Short Connection (Non-persistent Connection): A TCP connection is established for each HTTP request-response, and it is immediately closed after completion. HTTP Long Connection (Persistent Connection): Multiple HTTP requests and responses can be sent continuously over the same TCP connection, which remains open for a period of time, allowing the reuse of that connection … Read more
