Hi, This is common across all web servers I suppose. When a user types an URL in the browser(suppose http://www.abc.com) the server gets request for various MIME types(e.g text/html, text/image etc).
In HTTP 1.0 each request will initiate separate TCP/IP connection and in HTTP 1.1 persistent connection will let the browser send multiple requets in one TCP/IP connection itself, and it provides Pipelining too. HTTP 1.1 also provides Transfer-encoding=CHUNKED that allows server to send huge text/html files as series of chunks. Till this point, I have understood. Now I would like to know how the server sends huge html files when browser supports only HTTP 1.0? Because there is no concept of CHUNKED transfer-encoding here, how the server handles the response consisting of huge files? If this is not the right place for this question to be discussed, please give me a useful URL. Actually I am not getting clear from net, not from RFC too. Thanks in advance. Souramita.
