I'm not aware of a way of doing exactly that. There is HTTP Connection: keep-alive with which you could theoretically read data, but I don't see how you would implement sending (I assume, the server is supposed to do something with r'something'?). If you can modify the client, your pattern seems to perfectly fit the HTTP request - response model. So you would connect to the server, send a request, then read the data and close the connection, all in the loop. That said, if your client is supposed to process and respond to the data received, I would call it "server" and rather make requests from 10.20.30.40 to it.
