This is exactly what reverse proxies like Nginx and the Akamai CDN do: reuse the connection between the proxy and origin even after the browser endpoint has disconnected from the proxy. Like Mike said, it isn't spooky, since the reuse of an HTTP persistent connection makes no claim about HTTP state. Heck, Firefox could take over Chrome's HTTP connections and it would still be to-spec, regardless of whether they shared credentials. Of course it is incumbent on the remote server to keep things stateless above the TCP level, but if it can't do that it shouldn't advertise persistent connections. -- Sandy -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
