Persistent http connections

[siyisoy]

Hi
I would like to make successive queries against a web page. What I wish is make a connection and query through this connection successively. But I couldnt find the way of doing this. What I have done uses as many sockets as the number of queries which I guess is waste of resources. Is there any other way other than sockets? Or another way of using sockets?

With HTTP1.1, the server is not guaranteed to let you make multiple requests with the same socket. If it sends a header Connection:close, you can't reuse the connection.

Generally speaking, it can only do this if it knows the content length of all the resources, so if you start fetching PHP generated pages, it's going to have to close the connection.

I could be totally wrong here... but that is the best of my belief.

Lets suppose it lets to make multiple queries through a socket. How wil I implement the code?
What I do now is this:
while{
fsockopen()
fputs()
}loop

Second: Actually it do send me a 'Connection:Close' header although I posted a 'Connection:Keep-Alive' header.
