How to enable TCP keepalive feature?

[thune-xiaobai]

In urllib3 docs, there're ways to add tcp keepalive options to HTTPConnection

HTTPConnection.default_socket_options + [
    (socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_KEEPALIVE, 1),
]

but on httpx or httpcore, I didn't find the way to do same thing, any solutions if I want to enable tcp keepalive?

There isn't currently any API for socket options, no.

There's ways you'd be able to dig into it. The "backends" are the point at which the network comms actually happen so those are the place to look to start with. We could probably consider some functionality around this for httpx at some point. If we get other requests about this then I think we should consider opening an issue for it.
