http loadbalancer with keep-alive connection

[anil...@gmail.com]

I followed instructions here 

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/target-http-proxy

and setup apache in multiple regions with KeepAlive On setting

If I access individual server the response has Connection : keep-alive header but if I use the http load balancer the keep-alive is missing.

Did anyone else run into this? Is there any documentation to enable keep-alive using http load balancer?

Thanks

This you find a solution to getting the Connection : keep-alive header throw the load balancer?

Thanks

We are currently looking into this. I'll update you as soon as I have any news.

In HTTP/1.1, all connections are considered persistent unless declared otherwise[1]. The HTTP/1.1 persistent connections do not use separate keepalive messages in the header, they just allow multiple requests to use a single connection. You can specify the timeout value for the persistent connections in your HTTP server configuration file. Visit this case for configuration example for Nginx HTTP server.
