Sure - make sure you're using persistent connections. RFC 2616 says that
this should be the default mode of operation in HTTP 1.1, but for HTTP 1.0,
you'll need to send the Connection: Keep-Alive header.

The samples are simple, because they are supposed to each illustrate a
particular part of the process, or technique. Very few samples are complete
apps in themselves.
