Nodebalancer in HTTP mode and keepalive

performance

I have following configuration in my linode slice

NB <–--->web1+web2+web3

We need NB in http mode since we need few things that plain tcp mode does not give.

Now my problem is : when i run something like webpagetest.org for benchmarking purpose, i always get message that my domain is running static assets without keepalives. In TCP mode, keepalive is fine.

Is this a known limitation or am i doing anything wrong ????

"HTTP KeepAlives are forced off in HTTP mode."

-Chris

I did scan through the documentation of NB and could not find things regarding keep-alives in http mode. Looks like i am not good at spotting things :(

Can put some light on why keep-alive is forced off in HTTP mode ? Is there any way we can enable this ?
