[Bug 1087543] [NEW] apt-get does not properly reuse connections with https

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

Public bug reported:

When using an https: connection, apt-get does not properly reuse
connections. Because https setup costs can be quite high, this can cause
much slowdown when, for example, many different distributions on the
same server need to be checked.

I believe the attached patch addresses the difficulty.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "enable apt to keep https connections alive for reuse"
