Information About

Http Pipelining




Since it is possible to fit several HTTP requests in the same TCP packet, HTTP pipelining allows fewer TCP packets to be sent over the network, reducing network load.

HTTP pipelining requires both the client and the server to support it. Servers are required to support it in order to be HTTP/1.1 compliant, although they are not required to pipeline responses, just to accept pipelined requests.
