(Whiteboard: [necko-would-take])

It takes some time to discover idle connections are dead. The keep alive mechanism has its drawbacks and may not detect all drops. The idea is to use an idle connection but also open a new one and do the request on it (once it's open) as well. It may happen that the resource will sooner arrive on the new connection. Telemetry and some AI may be in place here. If IDLE conns win all the time, opening new conns is waste for the network/host. This is somewhat complementary to bug 980021.
