I mean, will not actually result in a persistent connection -- a socket
that is reused for multiple HTTP transactions.  I suppose for CONNECT
it would mean either multiple CONNECTs within a single socket or one
CONNECT with multiple "GET/POST" type transactions within it.

So, for the purposes of the WWW's current move towards all-https
websites, persistent connections (perhaps only with proxy servers?) are
becoming useless?

So this seems to affirm my question above that in a world where all
websites are https, persistent connections are no more and we are back
to open-fetch-close for every single object on a webpage, yes?

The problem I am trying to solve here is that opening Chrome with, say,
a few hundred tabs open, seems to take about an hour for it to finally
fetch all of the pages while most sit spinning on "waiting for an
available socket" or "proxy tunnel", etc., for a long time, which is
probably due to Chrome's limit on the number of concurrent sockets it
will open to a single destination, including proxy servers.  I was
hoping persistent connections would reduce the socket setup/teardown
overhead of all of that.

Cheers,
