HTTPAPI and socket connection question

["Huesman, Dan" <Dan.Huesman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   We use HTTPAPI to consume internal webservices; and we're wondering at
   what point the socket connections are opened and closed.  Is this on a
   per service call; or is there some way to control when sockets are
   opened and closed?  From the debug log it appears then open and close
   procedures are called during each http_url_post; but when I reach the
   comm._connect call (which I believe is a prototyped "C" function); I'm
   not sure a new socket connection is established or if an existing one
   is used.


   As a side question; do you feel it's best to leave LR off or set it on
   open exiting each webservice consumer program?  I believe generally we
   should leave LR off; but wanted other opinions.


   I've searched the forum and haven't had any luck finding if this
   question has already been discussed.


   Thank You for your time.
