Multiple sequential http requests without closing connection

Question

How can I send multiple http requests sequentially to a server ? I want to send a GET request to an api GET /api/parameter and dont want to send Connection: Close. Then upon receiving the response I want to send another request?

How can I do it with curl?

I have found this. Curl automatically utilizes previous opened connection. Just make sure that you dont create a new handle.

You need to use HTTP 1.1 like this or the server will close the connection anyway:

GET /api/parameter HTTP/1.1
