Re: Persistent http connection

This is an important issue for me. Can anyone please add to this? There's got to be a way to avoid conn setup/teardown each time we issue a http.request()

Thanks

That's curious. A cookie jar is required in order to use HTTP
keepalive? Is that documented? It seems like a dubious dependency.
