An E10k is a relatively large system. Excuse the hidden message. This protocol that you discuss would have to assemble the page (images and all), and send it to the client. Now, keep in mind, the client browser would have to comply by being able to parse the content and display the results. I don't know how MIME fits into that plan. I do not understand how establishing TCP connections would be the culprit. Unless, of course, your idea insinuates statically generated "all in one" pages, implying a PDF type document. >> This is why it is the way it is. >Hardly; you don't seriously think that dynamic content and server farms >have been around before HTTP? ;-) No I do not. I know not what you do, or who you are, but I'm not really a novice. One of the reasons the protocol was written the way it was is just for that. To scale. Has it not been doing that? The things that we are speaking of (at the start of this thread) do not need to be the responsibility of http at all. Perhaps some day that will be different, but I think there is much more ingenuity to be achieved before the protocol can be overhauled. >> Anyhow. Off topic.
