Description

The keep-alive mechanism does not work (no keep-alives are sent), when the connections go over HTTP layer.
The InactivityMonitor closes then the connection and new connection to target is established. This repeats every 30 seconds (the default time out).

E.g.: Let's have a simple broker network. Machine A connects to machine B with duplex network bridge over HTTP...

Machine A config:
<networkConnector duplex="true" uri="statichttp://machineB:61617)" name="bridgeToB" />

Machine B config:
<transportConnector name="http" uri="http://0.0.0.0:61617?maximumConnections=1000&wireFormat.maxFrameSize=104857600"/>

When the transport layer is changed to e.g. TCP then keep-alive works and the connection is persistent.
