Yes, this sounds like an operation you can do with the options already
provided.

I think it would better to return either "NEW CONNECT" or "RE-USED CONNECTION"
to mark if the previous transfer was a new or a re-used connection.
Alternatively, or perhaps additionally, there would be another info that would
return in what state the most recent connection was left in: "CONNECTION
ALIVE" or "CONNECTION CLOSED".
Both these informationals would be rather easy and straight forward to
support. Would any or both of these fit your view of things?
