Abstract

HTTP/1.1 may induce wasting server's resource when server maintains connection with the idle-state client that requests no data for a certain time. This paper proposes the mechanism of a connection management supported by the client under persistent HTTP. For the mechanism, we defined finishing time of transmission for HTML page and all embedded file in it as connection-closing time on client-side. For the experimental environment, clients ran on 300Mhz Pentium II PC with 32MB of physical memory running the windows95 and servers ran on OpenWin of Solaris 2.4. An experimental evaluation of connection management policies, conducted using Web server logs, shows that our policy achieves 15-20% reduction on busy Web server in cost with respect to the fixed holding-time policy.
