Hello ,
    
   Http Service/listener settings in GF admin gui, keep alive value :
      -1 and positive numbers:

     1. for me it does never affect the http transport.
         I have tested many different combinations of clientside keep
alive request values.
         I get the impression its dead broken serverside.
          
     2. Http socket idle timeout is allways random in the interval 5.0
<-> 10.0 seconds.
   
     3. TCP is however fully affected and working by this setting's value.
       
    using:
    GFv2ur1 23/10 nighthly + WSIT CVS + jdk 1.6u5b5 win xp pro 64bit.
     wsit swing client to perform simple 'ping' tests on a basic WS
servlet.
