persistent HTTP connections

[GrahamBright]

Hi,

Using LWP::UserAgent, Http::Request and Http::Headers, how is it possible to submit a HTTP POST without closing the connection, but instead sending another request.

All by requests so far are terminated with Connection: close, but I need to keep the connection open submit 4-8 more POST requests only then close the connection.

Thanks in advance,

Graham.

I use

my $objUserAgent = LWP::UserAgent->new(keep-alive=>1);

my $objRequest = HTTP::Request->new("POST", '

http://test.address.com/vas_soap',$objHeader,

$request);

message dump
