Ajax request header saved

Question

I have an Ajax request to refresh the client page if any new data is available to the server. I made a 'keep-Alive' connection 'keep-Alive' So, every time I do not make a new Ajax call to check for updated data. I have a callback that refreshes the page if there are entries.

Below is my Ajax request .

 xmlRequest.open("post", url, true); xmlRequest.setRequestHeader("Connection", "Keep-Alive"); xmlRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded;"); xmlRequest.send(some data); 

It works fine, but if the user updates the browser, Ajax will not receive the updated data from the server.

My concept is not entirely clear how the "keep-Alive" connection type works. but it seems that when the user updates the browser and then the Ajax connection is lost on the server, Ajax stops listing.

I know that I can fix this by making a new call when the browser refreshes the page. but here I want to understand if this Ajax keep-Alive really lose connection when updating the browser.

Normally, the javascript environment is cleared on the reset page, but you can use window.localStorage to continue updating and maintaining the xmlRequest variable. You can then test the client + server side to see if you need to reinitialize the connection.
