TCP connection is not reused for HTTP requests with HttpURLConnection

Question

I\'m have created an application which sends GET requests to a URL, and then downloads the full content of that page.

The client sends a GET to e.g. stackoverflow.c

Answer 1

HttpURLConnection will reuse connections if it can!

For this to work, several preconditions need to be fulfilled, mostly on the server side. Those preconditions are described in the article linked to above.
