I don't believe you are allowed to send a second request on a persistent connection before you get a complete reply. It is somewhat more complex than this. Our subgroup's consensus is Persistent connections are meant in part to support pipelining of requests and responses. However, a client MUST NOT pipeline its requests until the server has indicated that it will create a persistent connection. We believe that otherwise, certain servers or proxies could become confused. We will allow a client to remember that a given server has recently allowed persistent connections (say, within the past 1 day). Given the last sentence, most of the time the client probably WILL be sending multiple requests without intervening replies. -JeffReceived on Thursday, 15 February 1996 12:04:16 UTC
