title: Can I reuse a TCP connection?
body: <p>I'm connecting to a website and retrieving HTTP data by sending it a GET request. And I have to connect to the same site twice to retrieve two different pages. I'm new to network programming but I believe the <code>connect</code> function connects to the server, and creates a tcp connection.</p>
  
  <p>Now each time I connect to the server to retrieve the HTTP data, it has to create a new tcp connection, is there any way I can reuse the old one? It's retrieving the http data immediately after the other.
  It's not that big of a deal but I'm curious.</p>
