I think you would do well to do some basic reading on HTTP. To
understand how headers work, you might even read RFC-822. HTTP doesn't
use multiple TCP connections (not in the sense of relating them to
each other, at any rate), and I don't know what you mean when you say
that it uses multiple TCP "sessions."
