Description

SimpleAsyncHTTPClient does not support keep-alive requests, or at least not obviously so.

Happy to fork this and build it in if pointed in the right direction.

Research direction

The issue names SimpleAsyncHTTPClient and Connection:Keep-Alive but does not identify files or tests. Start by locating the SimpleAsyncHTTPClient implementation and its connection-handling tests, then determine the intended keep-alive behavior from the surrounding HTTP code. Done means the client supports the requested keep-alive requests with tests, but the issue does not define the exact behavior.
