* The response header contains this:

* Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 12:18:56 GMT
* Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
* Transfer-Encoding: chunked
* Connection: keep-alive
* Content-Encoding: gzip

* The "Connection: keep-alive" header ensures the server keeps the connection open for subsequent requests.
* If the server responds with a "Connection: close" header, it indicates the connection will be closed after the response. 
* Consequently, Chilkat will also close the connection, requiring a new one to be established for any subsequent requests to the same server.

* If your application uses the same HTTP object instance to send requests to a different server, a new connection will be established with that server.
* Existing connections remain open, with Chilkat maintaining up to 10 open connections. 
* If all 10 connections are in use, Chilkat will close the least recently used connection to connect to a new server.

* Your application can explicitly close all open connections like this:
lnSuccess = loHttp.CloseAllConnections()
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loSbJson
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."
