Description Till Maas 2008-10-12 23:11:39 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently the webserver for bugzilla sends a Connection: close header in each response and closes the connection. Therefore a webbrowser has to open a new connection for each requests. These requests are ssl encrypted and there it takes quite long to open a new connection. If keep-alive was enabled, the browser can reuse an establised connection and therefore it will take less time to request a complete bugzilla page.

Matt, is this something that we can now address with GIT to see if they we can enable this on our webapps?

Comment 2 Matthew Schick 2008-11-21 21:06:07 UTC

This is something that we scrapped due to issues IT has seen with their other apps in the DC.  If we were using some dedicated static content servers it would be useful, but for dynamic it's not so much.

There are a log of probably static CSS and Javascript files that get loaded for every request, there seem to be around 19 requests for such extra files for one bug report. Now each of these requests take at least the time for one SSL-Handshake, even if they return a 404.
