title: How can we resuse https connections in ANT?
body: <p>I have a HTTPS GET task in ANT which downloads files off my server. Problem is I have to spawn a new HTTPS connection every time I have to download a single file. </p>
  
  <p>I have quite a few files which need to be downloaded so naturally recreating new HTTP connections causes some grief.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way in ANT to reuse a HTTPS/HTTP connection so that I can download all my files over the same reuseable connection?</p>
