[ee122] keep-alive

[Daniel Killebrew]

The server and the client do the same thing they did in phase 1, except 
now, the server will not close the connection after sending the response 
to the client's first request. This way the client can send multiple 
requests without reconnecting for each. So the server and client are 
reusing the sockets they have already created.
