Doesn't this happen automatically already?

% curl -v http://localhost/A http://localhost/B 2>&1 | grep "^\*"
* About to connect() to localhost port 80
* Trying ::1... connected
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 80
* Re-using existing connection! (#0) with host localhost
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 80
* Closing connection #0

To remove confusion:

There is no such thing as a "TCP message". There is such a thing
as an IP packet, but you don't really care how many IP packets your
TCP stream requires (at least 5 for proper connections ;-)).

What you want to do is to reuse connections. cURL already does this
(see above).
