[Caml-list] ocamlnet, netclient and closing connection after every http client request

[Joel Reymont <joelr1@gmail.com>]

I'm using netclient from ocamlnet 3.2.1 to issue thousands of http requests.

This leaves me with thousands of sockets hanging around open, until I run out of sockets.

Is there a way to tell netclient that I want a single connection open to my server at any given time, no more?

I tried copying Http_client.Convenience to add the following settings but this didn't solve my problem.

let http_realistic =
  serialize
	  (fun () ->
	    let p = Lazy.force pipe in
	    let opt = p # get_options in
	    p # set_options
	      { opt with 
          synchronization = Sync;
          connection_timeout = 30.0; (* seconds *)
	        number_of_parallel_connections = 1;
          inhibit_persistency = true;
        };
	  )

What am I doing wrong?

	Thanks, Joel
