From 975dce23257e713e5e52eb87b194513eb81110a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jo-Philipp Wich Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2020 12:57:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] client: allow keep-alive for POST requests Allow POST requests via persistent connections to improve performance especially when using HTTPS on older devices. After this change, average page load times in LuCI improve significantly once the TLS connections are initiated. When testing an ar71xx 19.07.2 build on an ethernet connected TL-WR1043nd using luci-ssl-openssl and the ustream-openssl backend, the average page load time for the main status page decreased to 1.3s compared to 4.7s before, the interface and wireless configuration pages loaded in 1.2s seconds each compared to the 4.2s and 4.9s respectively before.
