Question

I want to keep-alive on each connection, but for only max 5 seconds.

How can I setup this in web.config file, which section?

Answer 1

In IIS Manager, set the Connection Timeout, or, if you want to edit the appropriate file yourself:

IIS6: C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\MetaBase.xml

IIS7: C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\ApplicationHost.config:

<system.applicationHost>
   <sites>
      <siteDefaults>
         <limits connectionTimeout="00:00:05" />
      </siteDefaults>
   </sites>
</system.applicationHost>

Caveat: I haven’t tried changing this setting myself.
