By default it is 10. It starts pipelining only after all connections in that pool are busy.<br>
<br>If you want to use the same connection, there are two ways, set the max_sessions parameter in your request to 1. For example:<br><br>ibrowse:send_req("<a href="http://localhost:7796/cgi-bin/erl/ebdc_web/country" target="_blank">http://localhost:7796/cgi-bin/erl/ebdc_web/country</a>", [], post, [], [{max_sessions, 1}]).<br>
<br>Or, you can do the following.<br><br>{ok, Pid} = ibrowse:spawn_worker_process("localhost", 7796). <br>ibrowse:send_req_direct(Pid, "<a href="http://localhost:7796/cgi-bin/erl/ebdc_web/country" target="_blank">http://localhost:7796/cgi-bin/erl/ebdc_web/country</a>", [], post, [], []).<br>
<br>The first option is if you don't care which connection it goes over. The second version is if you want fine grained control on which requests go on which connection. I hope this helps.<br><br>cheers<br><font color="#888888">Chandru</font><div class="Ih2E3d">

<div dir="ltr">Hi Chandru,<br><br>Thanks for the tip. I am in fact aware of ibrowse. I tried a version of it from Jungerl and it seemed to be doing the same thing. Maybe I have an old version (1.4) or I am not setting something up correctly. To duplicate this behavior, simply repeat the same ibrowse:send from the Erlang shell a few times, while watching the TCP traffic with Ethereal or similar. What I saw is different local ports being used each time even though posting to the same URL each time. I want the same port (i.e. connection) to be kept open and reused to avoid the connect/disconnect overhead. If there's a way to circumvent this, I'd like to know how, please.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Ingela, I look forward to seeing the modifications. Hopefully you can post a patch so I don't have to wait for the next Erlang release.<br><br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888">Edwin</font></div>
