Does Tornado AsyncHTTPClient support persistance connection?

Question

Does Tornado AsyncHTTPClient support persistance(Keep-Alive) connection? The official document is not so clear for this feature.

Answer 1

By default (when using simple_httpclient), persistent connections are not currently supported (as of Tornado 4.2). When configured to use curl_httpclient, persistent connections are supported.

AsyncHTTPClient.configure('tornado.curl_httpclient.CurlAsyncHTTPClient')
