    After "Invoke-WebRequest" are executed with specific URL, I would like to know on how the connection is being handled, such as

    (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -SessionVariable Y -UseBasicParsing)

    1) Connection is still existed for a period of time

    2) Connection is disconnected once it is established, just like hand shake

    3) Other

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Web connections are stateless.

    A session variable keeps track of connections to the same session.

    Why are you asking?

    $ww = Invoke-WebRequest http://www.google.com

    Every web server site can do it in its own way.  By default most sites timeout an inactive session within 2 minutes.  Sites can have keep-alive calls.

    Google will maintain a session if you are logged in.

    Based on following request, is there no session for tracking on this connection? since there is no www.google.com&session=73y8h73hhhde coming with requested URL, would it be correct?

    $ww = Invoke-WebRequest http://www.google.com

    For web server, if I request a connection again with the same session within 2 mins, then web server know that the established connection is still active,  would it be correct?

    Do you have any suggestions?
