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

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
