Peristent connections are critical for getting Konquerors network
performance to decent level. They are also required by the http1.1
spec. Pipelining (ability to issue requests without waiting for response)
would also be nice.

Perhaps it would be best to reimplement kio_http using libwww
(www.w3c.org/Library)? I don't see why we should spend time with 
http protocol when a free and supposedly working implementation already
exists.
