Hmm, OK. I guess I needed an independent confirmation, thanks. I would feel safer if 19.6.1.1 section of rfc2616 were explicit about persistent connections, but I guess it could be inferred. One thing that might break (but that Wget doesn't yet support anyway) is NTLM, which seems to authorize the *connections* individual connections. Does curl handle NTLM?
