Re: [squid-users] Which HTTP v1.1 features are supported?

There is currently a discussion going on in the Mozilla newsgroups about
just how much performance improvement is seen with the HTTP v1.1
extensions. The browser allows you to select/deselect (see the HTTP
Networking page in Preferences>>Advanced) these features:

        Enable Persistent Connections
        Enable Pipelining

So I wondered, going through Squid, if I was actually able to get these
kind of connections to HTTP v1.1 servers. That's where I got the term
"pipelining".

Thanks for the response.
