Using Keep-Alive

HTTP persistent connection, also called HTTP keep-alive, or HTTP connection reuse, is the idea of using a single TCP connection to send and receive multiple HTTP requests/responses, as opposed to opening a new connection for every single request/response pair. This can improve crawl performance but can sometimes cause requests to fail with a protocol violation error.

To disable keep-alive

1. From the Project Properties dialogue, select the Advanced category
2. Uncheck the Keep alive option
