http-post-form using single tcp connection?

[samhamra]

Is it possible to somehow send multiple post requests using the same tcp connection, perhaps by using the Connection: Keep-Alive HTTP header? I tried just adding the header to the command like so:

hydra -O -v -V -I -l administrator -x 1:1:aA myip https-post-form "mypath:myxml:failtext:H=Content-Type: application/xml; Connection: Keep-Alive"

But it seems like I wasn't successful, is there another way?

no, hydra only does connection: close to keep the protocol complexity as low as possible. to do 1.1 keep-alive would mean we need a http library to take care of that. of course that would be a good thing (it also increases performance) but we dont have the time for it at the moment.

but pull requests with at would be more than welcome!
