socket — specifies profile socket type
<socket>STRING</socket>
This element specifies socket type to be used in conjunction
with current profile. Valid examples are
generic
, keepalive
and
ssl
. In practice generic
socket
allows for one request per connection (connection is
terminated right after receiving response), while
keepalive
allows for more than one request to
be transmitted over active connection. This difference can
have significant impact on test results.
