Hi list,

I was wondering if Nginx can do keep-alive on proxy\_pass (reverse  
proxy).  
The wiki says:

```
"It is an HTTP/1.0 proxy without the ability for keep-alive requests

```

yet."

I’m curious about the meaning of “yet”, does that mean it’s a feature  
that is currently being developed ?

Thanks,  
Julien
