Hi,
I noted that MWclient uses, or tries to use, persistent HTTP
connections to the API.
I have a few questions, as I am looking at improving Interwicket,
which makes lots of API calls, and is sometimes driven nuts by the two
layers of proxies (here, on my side of the net) that are prone to
failing ...
Is using persistent connections a good idea?
What is the server-side timeout when a connection is idle?
Can I make requests to various different projects (xx.wiktionary, for
various xx) on the same connection (looks like it, as they all return
the same address)?
Just thinking about what would be best if I re-write a layer on my side (;-)
best,
Robert
