Enable keep-alive in django for persistent connection

I keep seeing references for keep-alive as a way to help maintain persistent connection, but I can't find any information on how to implement this with Django. How can I access this setting for Django? Thanks.

As described in this question: Keeping connection open in Django without websockets Django doesn't support this keep-alive header as it is mostly a request/response framework. However, unlike that question you don't mention not wanting to use websockets, so...

keep-alive

Websockets would be the way to have a persistent connection and there is a really nice library which adds this functionality to Django called Django Channels. Using this you can establish a persistent connection to the client and send data to the client without it constantly having to request new information. There's a great tutorial in the documentation and general research on websockets should yield some useful information as well.
