Abstract

A method, computer-readable medium, and system for re-using a connection between a client computing device and a server system. The method includes receiving at a server system a request from a client computing device to initiate a connection; receiving over the connection a request from the client computing device for first content from a first domain hosted by the server system; sending information to the client computing device over the connection that specifies one or more additional domains hosted by the server system and acceptable to the server system for connection sharing; receiving over the connection a request for second content from a second domain that is hosted by the server system and that was specified in the information sent from the server system to the client computing device; and sending the second content to the client computing device over the connection in response to receiving the request.
