Description

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?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the http post form module code in hydra to understand how TCP connections are managed. Investigate if the Connection: Keep Alive header is properly supported and whether the same socket can be reused for multiple requests. Look for existing functionality or potential modifications.
