Hi Piotr,

 

As far as I'm aware:

    Hmm, do you mean pipelining or keep-alive? As far as I understand pipelining is extension to keep-alive allowing to send multiple request not waiting for replays - as it is with not pipelined session. As well I am pretty sure that most of today's HTTP/1.1 connections are persistent so single TCP connection is used for many HTTP transactions - or I am wrong? Piotr

    Keep-alive would also help to ensure the TCP connection is not closed after the HTTP response.
