Is there some way to globally force all API connections to use 6.1 by default so we don't have to do SET PROTOCOL
on each connection?

Andrew,

No, you have to send S,SET PROTOCOL 6.1 each time you connect if you want it. The API does not have any ability to retain a setting. This is a standard behavior of REST APIs: the server does not store any information about a connection.

The API defaults to the oldest supported protocol for backwards compatibility reasons. It is preferable to force the user to specify a newer protocol if they want, so as not to break existing code each time a new protocol is released.
Sincerely,
Gary Stephen
