This is a very good point. Pipelining is probably one of the least used parts of the HTTP 1.1 standard. No popular browser makes use of it (in fact, until a few minutes ago, I wasn't even aware that Firefox supports it), and because nobody uses it, some servers don't support it well. Worse, even the servers that do support pipelining (all HTTP 1.1 supporting servers should...), don't always get the full benefit from it. An ideal implementation would require the server or proxy to start fetching all requested pages concurrently, and return them in the order they are available. I'm not aware of any common Web server that actually does that. -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Feb 7 2005, 28 Shevat 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |I considered atheism but there weren't http://nadav.harel.org.il |enough holidays. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
