Why doesn't Nginx support fastcgi keepalive connection?

Server NGINX
1

Hi, all

It seems that nginx will communicate with fastcgi using short

connection, and with heavy load, nginx and fastcgi will cause large
number
of TIME_WAIT. It’s annoying.

I am wondering why nginx doesn’t support fastcgi keepalive
connection(*
FCGI_KEEP_CONN*)?

Are there some special considerations?

There are some experimental patches available which add fastcgi
keepalive support (with upstream keepalive module).

I’ll post refreshed version in a few weeks.
