Chrome Version       : 2.0.171.0
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 4: PASS
  Firefox 3.0.8: PASS
         IE 7: PASS
         IE 8: PASS

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do an XHR POST or a form POST on any page.
2. On a webserver, observe a new connection being made for the POST

What is the expected result?

Chromium reuses an open connection.

What happens instead?

Chromium makes a new connection.



Chromium 2 (not 1) makes a new connection for each POST, even when made
through the XHR object. This matches the behavior of Opera 9+, but no other
browser. This could significantly slow down any POSTing to HTTPS sites.

If this new-connection behavior increases reliability, web developers
should have some way to opt out, if their application can handle a
more-likely-to-fail POST.

I cannot reproduce the behavior I reported in recent builds.  I tried both HTTP and HTTPS, both XHR POSTs and <form> POSTs, in these browsers:

Chrome/Win 5.0.375.70
Chrome/Mac 5.0.375.86
Chrome/Linux 5.0.342.7 beta
Chromium/Win 6.0.453.0 (51333)

I did not observe a new connection for a POST in any case.  I also tried removing some headers that my server sends (X-XSS-Protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Keep-Alive).  I still could not observe the reported behavior.

fwiw, Opera/10.53 (Win) still makes a new connection for each POST, in case anyone wants to see that behavior.
