With HTTP/1.0, connections were closed after each request. With HTTP/1.1, the only mechanism which has been specified to keep conections opened accross several requests is by the use of the "Connection: keep-alive" header. RFC 2616 does not force the UA or the server to allow the opening of a specific number of connections at the same time. Therefore UA and server can do as they wish. IE6 defaults to 2 simultaneous persistent connections. Firefox is 4 I think but this can be changed from Fx itself. In any case the server should IMO limit the number from one given host in order to avoid flood. - Sylvain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
