I was thinking of doing something like this for quite some time.
the only issues I can see are keepalives.. * do they handle things like cookies per request or per connection?
Servers don't handle cookies - they're just Yet Another Header.
* authentication
Authentication happens on a per request basis, not per connection, so no problems there.
* handling of keepalive timeouts might be tricky
* ie.. do keepalives keep some state, I am never sure
There is no state, no. The next request follows the previous, and each request has a well defined length (either using content-length, or chunked encoding) so the receiving end always knows when the previous request ended the the current began.
