Yeps. This is actually what is referred to as "url-specific options" in the
TODO:

I would prefer something similar to what the TODO mentions. Basically a
separator that says everything before this separate is done on the given URL,
and after the separator we start a new request with this new set of options.
Then we could easily also support mixed GET + POST + HEAD operations over the
same connection when a user would like that...
