I don't think this is entirely true. http does allow the client and server to 
agree to keep the connection open. You can see this happening 
between iexploder and iis...

We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight 
paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would 
learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, 
and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been 
wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice.
