Maintain an open session using request
<p>I'm pretty new to this...</p>

<p>I have the following code:</p>

<pre><code>request("http://somePythonServer.com?param1=1&amp;param2=2", function (err, response, body) {
      if (err){
         console.error(err);
         next(err);
      }
      console.log("Response Ended - SUCCESS");
});
</code></pre>

<p>This request is made each time with different parameters and values and currently a new connection is being opened each time i run it.</p>

<p>My question is how to maintain an open connection?</p>

<p>EDIT: I have control on both sending and receiving end of the request.</p>

<p>MY GOAL: 
I'm trying to boost speed between two servers (NodeJS is sending HTTP GET to a python simple HTTP server) I want the connection between those two to remain open at all time in order for the requests to be as fast as possible.</p>
