Hello,

I'm new in Revolution Studio (I'm an old user of Asymetrix Toolbook

).
I just bought this great tool, and this is my first post

I'm making some tests using http (I wish to use Revolution Studio as rich client over an application server java).

I access to the server via Rev using the following code:

Code: Select all

get url ("http://xxxxxxx/ServletExample1/Test1?" & ("username=" & UrlEncode(field "username") ) )

"xxxx" are server name and port.

I noticed that every call creates a new session in the server, and I cannot find any info about the parameter "keep alive", which could be used to "inform" Rev to use the same session instead opening a new one.

Is it correct? Is there any way to let a client talk with a server in a single session?

thank you!

You could try setting the 'httpHeaders' to include a line for Keep-Alive.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  set the httpHeaders to "Connection: Keep-alive"
  get URL "http://www.example.com/example.jsp?param=example"
end mouseUp

When you set the 'httpHeaders' property, you're adding to/overriding standard HTTP headers that are sent as part of the request.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
