Persistent http connection

[mel]

Hello,

I want to have a persistent http connection across my web
pages.

This means that if I hit reload or go to a different page, I
still want to get an object with my live connection.

I know this is hard, and I am almost starting to believe it is
impossible ... but ...

I heard some ideas using window.name and globalStorage being
able to store data across pages.

From what I have tried, those approaches are only useful to
store strings. I want to store a new XmlHttpRequest() object.

Now, my question

1) can I store objects on the window.name or globalStorage

and

2) can I serialize a XmlHttpRequest (sorry, I know it is
absurd, but I had to ask =))
