I don't see why we need to change the protocol for that? It's already possible to handle requests in parallel. The client can (and does) alrady have multiple outstanding requests; it's just that the current server implementation doesn't handle them in parallel. -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
