Not sure I understand this line in specification: Clients SHOULD NOT close a connection by default, but MAY in case the content exceeds constraints set by the user. [https link] Why should I keep connection open (on client-side), even the page has been loaded? Maybe just to prevent double handshake only? Asking, because have some head pain with Rust implementation, where connection get dopped by last reference left the scope. So here simpler to open connection again, than hold and manage...
