Connecting to HTTP Server with sockets!!

Hi,

I am connecting to a http server with sockets This works fine. I was thinking that instead creating a new socket for each and every request can i create a single socket itself and use the flush method to commit to the stream and get its response. This would mean that the client connection is established with the httpserver till a disconnect is called. Would this slow down the performance on the Server side ?

Do let me know.

Thanks in advance!
