Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for reducing or eliminating handshake delay caused in establishing a network connection are described herein. Embodiments disclosed relate to reducing or eliminating the delay cause in establishing a network connection that is caused by the traditional exchange of connection request and acknowledgement data segments performed each time a connection is established between two computers using a reliable streaming protocol such as TCP. Further embodiments allow a server in communication with one or more clients using a reliable streaming protocol to begin responding to requests from the clients immediately without having to wait for connection establishment by including in a connection request data segment a content request. In one embodiment, this is achieved by transmitting from the server to the client a persistent HTTP cookie after a first connection request from the client. Subsequent requests from that client will include a request for content and the cookie so that the server may verify the cookie and respond to the content request without the overhead of performing a full connection handshake.
