Apologies if that was not clear. The server that you are querying needs
to be configured for persistent http connections, in order for your
client request to keep an open TCP connection for a while. I am not
aware of a method for a client to do this.

You might want to look into the networking side of the problem -
traceroutes, ident lookups, rDNS configs, etc. - what is the "real"
problem with the time in establishing a connection. I work with servers
all over the planet, and do not have problems establishing connections,
other than simple geographic latency, which is tolerable.
