I’m connecting to a website and retrieving HTTP data by sending it a GET

  • 0

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 connect function connects to the server, and creates a tcp connection.

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.

    You could use HTTP 1.1 where connection are persistent or use HTTP 1.0 and send the header “Connection: Keep-Alive”.

    That way you can fetch a second page without connecting again (just GET again on the same socket).
