Most IP cameras in my experience have a very minimal HTTP server, and may not support persistent connections. The first thing I would suggest is trying it using a simple command line tool like cURL. For example, if you run the following and see debug output stating "Reusing existing connection" then you know it supports the functionality you need.
curl -v "http://foo.bar.com/image.jpg"; "http://foo.bar.com/image.jpg"; > /dev/null Apache HttpClient will reuse connections by default. All you need to do is pause (e.g. Thread.sleep(...)) between HttpGet requests. You can enable the HttpClient logging features (http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/logging.html) to see whether or not HttpClient is able to reuse connections.
