Persistent Http Connections Android

Question

I want to make a persistent http connection in my android application. Since the backend responses are configured for Keep-Alive .

I would like to know how to make persistent http connections in Android in order to avoid handshake request everytime.

Answer 1

Set the header to include a keep-alive request.

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) mURL.openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection","Keep-Alive");
