Maybe it's safe to use pipelining when a proxy is not used? This is how things have been implemented in browsers, IIRC. On the other hand, you probably still need to somewhat complex retry logic, but I guess you need that anyway (if the first download fails, try without pipelining etc.). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
