Description

Explore ways to improve the performance and design of the HTTP transport. Currently, each test invocation involves a new connection to the server. The HTTP/1.1 Keepalive feature could be used to reuse a single connection for all test invocations. Responses to the GET_RESULTS request do not need to include a body if there was no exception on the server-side. Possibly use custom HTTP headers to communicate the Cactus service parameters such as the name of the test class and method, instead of using query string parameters.
