I need a ssh client capable to reconnect if connection breaks, and, on reconnection, to get password from a file or web address.
Thank You.

Looking around, there does exist autossh.
Rely on autossh to reconnect a broken connections (if everything else is right).
Then you may fetch files or execute any other commands.
Alternatively, you can run a script to loop and check for the port, some like this.
Or you may simply use scp to fetch the required file.
