setReuse feature

[rjjrbatarao]

This library is great, one problem though when connecting twice on the same host takes a long time, I was wondering if theres a feature you could add to reuse the connection to avoid doing ssl handshake again, this could reduce the request time significantly on second request.

Hi @rjjrbatarao

Thanks for your nice words and the enhancement request.

I already found out and fixed the issue, and will release a new version within today. It won't reconnect if already connected, certainly after verifying the same host and port.

Even though your issue is a good one, I almost ignored it because the issue was opened without MRE. Luckily, I changed my mind before pressing the button.

Hopefully you'll do it correctly next time.

Best Regards,
