René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Question Regarding New HTTP Persistent Connection Feature in Web Cmdlets","articleBody":"### Summary of the new feature / enhancement\n\nOne of the changes in 7.4.0 I'm the most excited for is the HTTP Connection Reuse (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/19249) primarily to help speed up API calls with pagination where a call might need to be sent to the same endpoint 100+ times to retrieve all results. \r\n\r\nA fairly common example of that however is taking advantage of the -FollowRelLink parameter to only have a single Invoke-RestMethod command in my script. I can't find any documentation stating as such, but would that parameter by default take advantage of this new improvement without specifying a WebSession? Since there would rarely be a time you specified that parameter if you were not expecting multiple calls to be made. Or would a dummy call still have to be made first and thrown away just to obtain the WebSession variable for use?\n\n### Proposed technical implementation details (optional)\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/JAK1047","@type":"Person","name":"JAK1047"},"datePublished":"2023-11-17T14:27:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/20713/PowerShell/issues/20713"}
