I propose int TSHttpTxnServerSsnTransactionCount(TSHttpTxn txn) as an addition to the InkAPI. It returns the number of transactions that have been performed on the server session currently associated with the txn. This would be analogous to the TSHttpTxnServerSsnTransactionCount function which returns the same information for the user agent session. The TSHttpTxnServer prefix seems to be used in other InkAPI calls dealing with the server transaction/session associated with the HttpSM.
We have a customer that would like to add a "Connection: close" header to the server request after a certain number of requests have been made on the connection. If there is an existing way to do this, I'd be interested to know that too.
