Hi All, here I have a basic question regarding pipeline: we all know that by having persistent connection client doesn't need to open a new TCP connection for sending following requests Moreover, we can adopt pipeline to send out next request "before" client receives the response for current request - By using pipeline, does client need only one TCP connection? ( all requests go through the same connection ) - If yes, how does it guatantee the sequence of consecutive responses? e.g. server takes longer time to deal with 1st request, but shorter time for 2nd request. The server would hold 2nd response until 1st response is generated then send them both sequentially back to client, or the server just sends back directly no matter which response is ready - for doing that, we at least need 2 threads, one is for sending requests, another is for receiving reponses, don't we? Regds, - Jerry
