Using both keepalive requests and timeout

[Das, Jagannath]

It was new learning for me that keep alive_timeout is a time set for inactivity. May be we should add that in the nginx.org wiki page.

This will actually relief a lot of people. :)

But you have set 2s timeout between requests in httperf,
so how do you expect it to work?

It's a timeout for inactive keep-alive connection.

If you set keepalive_timeout 10s; then a connection
will be closed after 10 seconds of inactivity, but
httperf with the --wsess=1,102,2 parameters sends
new requests every 2 seconds.
