character data

profile socket type.

description

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.
