http.request create new connection every call go method and close stream. So there is a way to reuse connection several times by keep-alive?

The library supports it for the lower level connection and stream apis, but not for the high level request object. The hard bit is knowing if an existing connection is suitable for a new request (need to check dns, certificates, any SSL settings, http version selection, etc. its quite a long list)
