Hi All,

I'll start off with the situation ....

I have built an RB web server which is required to serve around 100 small images via a single html page (the html page and all images are being served via the RB web server). Although the images are loading in the browser they seem to load one at a time even though Safari and most browsers are able to request and display a number ( often 4 or 8) of images at once. It seems that my RB web server is not able to receive and respond to more than one request at a time.

You need to handle keep-Alive sessions. If you don't handle this correctly, your server or the clients opens and closes a TCP connection for each image. While the browser might try to handle many sessions in parallel, your RB app
is likely to establish new connections not as fast as possible.

TCP is an expensive protocol...

You might wish to compare the speed with AB for web

using a benchmarking app like 'ab'. I posted several related messages to
this list some time ago.
