i'm looking for help testing HTTP/1.1 pipelining that just recently landed on the mozilla trunk. by default it is disabled, but if people can enable pipelining and use it for normal daily browsing that would great! i'd greatly appreciate any feedback about problems that seem related to pipelining.
to enable pipelining, go to the Advanced->HTTP Networking preferences panel. there's a checkbox for HTTP/1.1 pipelining... enable it!! to learn more about HTTP/1.1 pipelining see: http://mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/pipelining-faq.html http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1 http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Performance/Pipeline.html please send mail to me or file bugs if you encounter any problems with HTTP/1.1 pipelining in mozilla. i'm especially interested in whether or not this feature makes any significant performance difference in real world use. i've shown that it improves mozilla's performance on an isolated LAN using jrgm's pageloader, but the gain is not very significant (2-3%). i expect this to help out a lot more over slower internet connections, so if you can help try this out over a modem link that would be especially helpful. thanks in advance! darin
