[issue9740] Support for HTTP 1.1 persistent connections throughout the standard library

[V. Kumar]

V. Kumar added the comment:

Verified that Persistent Connections per HTTP 1.1 spec is already implemented and working correctly.

See:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3f3de8c47ff8/Lib/http/client.py#l432

Also, tested this in packet sniffer to verify that connection is being reused.

But the server.py has in issue where the keep-alive can be used in HTTP/1.0:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/7417d8854f93/Lib/http/server.py#l331
So, the and in this line needs to be an 'or'.
