Hello,

I'm writing code using Microsoft's SSPI (schannel.dll) and everything
is working fine EXCEPT for one issue which I cannot seem to understand.

Is it possible, once an SSL connection has been established, to send
additional
https requests without having to go through the complete handshaking process
of establishing a new secure connection? Shouldn't it be possible to
continue to send additional HTTPS requests over the secure channel?
The Microsoft example in the Platform SDK samples shows how to
establish the connection, send a single HTTP request, received the response,
and close the connection. I would like to: 1) establish the connection,
2) do several request/response round trips, and finally 3) close the
connection.

Is this possible?
