 Minor correction -- I belive Privoxy doesn't do persistent connections
 at all, let alone pipelining.

I don't see the contradiction here, but you're not mistaken.

Privoxy doesn't initialise persistent connections by itself,
doesn't pipeline anything and doesn't allow the client 
to do it either.

Forcing firefox to keep a connection alive for reuse

2007-02-05 Thread Michael_google gmail_Gersten

(slightly off topic)

I was just realizing that the overhead of making dozens of separate
connections for fetching everything off the web (one connection per
item) instead of reusing the same connection to the server is probably
part of why browsing through tor is as slow as it is.

How do you force firefox to keepalive the connections?

(I can't be the first person to think of this, so either (A) it's
hard, or (B) my system is somehow misconfigured.)

Fiddlesticks. I've got mine set for pipelining also, and yet Vidalia
clearly shows multiple connections to each website, not a single
re-used one.

Have a look at the network.http.pipelining options on the
about:config page.

I have set all three booleans to true and maxrequests to 8.
