Thanks for explaining, but that I already knew .
With Python and Node.js (probably others too) it's possible to create an open http server connection. It's the same as any other http connection except the connection never closes like a traditional http connection does. This means there is no more three way handshake at every request which is WAY faster and results in a smaller memory footprint. Open sockets are also referred to as 'streaming sockets' if I'm not mistaking.
