You can probably get persistent http connections working with 
twisted.web.client (not with getPage or the other "convenience" 
functions though).

The new http client which is being developed will support this in a much 
simpler way.  With a bit of luck (or maybe some additional help from 
people interested in a really high-quality http client), this should be 
included in Twisted 9.0 which I hope will be out very soon.
