The savings would be the time allocated for extra openings and closings of HTTP connections, so... Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not that what is supposed to be solved by the concept of a "persistent connection" as per HTTP1.1 ? >No caching advantage you say? Well, HTTP1.1 persistent connections are supposed to give room for all parts of cache mechanisms as they have already been implemented. No need to change already available caching mechanisms as I see it, just follow some well thought out recommendations (as in RFC2616) and we should be all happy.
