Hello,

I have a custom web server that sends HTTP responses in an interleaved fashion. I. e., the first piece of response 1 followed by first piece of response 2 and so on. The idea is that, such a web server can enable a web client to concurrently paint different responses.

Now, I need a web browser that can talk to my web server. From examining Firefox's code, it seems that Firefox has a single socket thread for reading responses and another 'painting' thread to render the responses.

- Can the 'painting' thread paint interleaved responses?
- If not, then is a customization of Firefox possible? i.e, I can have a single transport layer thread to read all the responses and different 'painitng' threads, one for each response, to paint the pieces of different responses as and when they arrive?

Thanks,
Preethi
