persistent http, pipelining etc

hello,

i have a few questions that i would appreciate if you could answer and tell me if my line of thinking is right. cheers.

is a single persistent http connection capable of concurrent downloads? by this i mean for example, as each image tag in a html file is encountered, is a request fired off immediately (and server begins to respond) or are the requests queued until the entire initial http response (the html page itself) arrives and therafter behind the next in the queue? is this not possible because the sequence number of the tcp packets would be ‘out’?

thanks,
dean.

@ray326Jun 12.2007 — It depends on the browser. Most will overlap requests for better page load times. This is working at a couple of layers above TCP.

Success!
