C＃HttpClient连接保持连接

Question

i have a Demo ashx webservice like this:

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        //string s = context.Request.Form["prova"];
        string a= context.Request.Form["a"];
        string b= context.Request.Form["b"];

        TryKeepAlive();
        context.Response.Write("ok");
    }

where trykeepalive just does:

    private void TryKeepAlive()
    {
        int msTimeout = 999999999;
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(msTimeout);
    }

this is just a demo, but i have the same problem of keeping connection alive in another real method.

from phone i'm calling the post via HttpClient:

    public async void PostIt()
    {
        string url = "myurl.htm";
        var values = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
                {
                    new KeyValuePair<string, string>("a", "12345"),
                    new KeyValuePair<string, string>("b", "123456")
                };
        var httpClient = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler());

        HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync(url, new FormUrlEncodedContent(values));
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
        var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    }

the code works, my only problem is keeping connection alive for all time. can someone tell me how to do it? i read about the method keepAlive(), can someone show me how to implement it? thanks

Answer 1

request.KeepAlive = true; If I'm not mistaken, I wanted to comment but I lack rep, sorry for posting it as an answer, if someone can comment this suggestion I'll gladly delete my answer.
