Debmirror uses a perl module for the http transfer (LWP::UserAgent)
and I would have thought that uses keep-alive automatically. While
keep-alive is not true pipelining it is a neccessary first step for
it. I can't send to requests at once if the connection gets torn down
after the first.
I'm reassigning this to libwww-perl for implementation of keep-alive.
