*Do* *not* *make* *assumptions*. You're making a huge assumption here: A) NSURLConnections must be reused in order to have persistent HTTP connections. And then we have this simple fact: B) There is no way to reuse an NSURLConnection. Putting these two together, we have a conclusion: C) NSURLConnection does not allow persistent HTTP connections. Since conclusion C is pretty much absurd, it would follow that perhaps assumption A is wrong. But don't assume. *Test*. Write some code and then use a network sniffer to see if, in fact, persistent connections are being used. If you don't know how to use a sniffer, this is your golden opportunity to learn. Doing network programming without a sniffer is like doing carpentry without any eyes. A particularly talented person might get astonishingly far without them, but he's still going to suffer from a severe handicap relative to a person who can actually see. Above all, please don't come barging onto the mailing list asking about a half-baked solution for a problem that you haven't even verified the existence of.
