Title:
  apt-get does not properly reuse connections with https

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
