The main problem here is that servers can decide to drop the connection if it
stays idle for some time. Imagine what it would happen if they would all keep
it alive forever?

You can try and use timeout and idle-timeout and keep-alive to try and make it
last longer, but at some point the server may decide to drop it.

Of course if for your use case you have control over your server, it should
work. If you are dealing with the internet, then I think there's not much left
to do.
