I've added partial support for HTTP/1.1, including persistent connections in particular, to the tclhttpd server. The code has not been released publically yet, but should be soon (I want to complete more of the implementation first). > Do they all use the "Connection: Keep-Alive" header to indicate > that a connection should be held open? tclhttpd does not at this stage - it just implements persistent connections as per HTTP/1.1. Adding backward-compatibility for Keep-Alive should be trivial. > Do any clients or servers support the scheme where the server > transmits all the inline images immediately after transmitting > a document, even if the client doesn't ask? tclhttpd does not. What you need is pipelining - similar effect, but the client does explicitly ask for the documents. Cheers, Steve Ball, DCS ANU.
