Hi, while playing around with a HTTP proxy I noticed that the ti...@home servers *.tah.openstreetmap.org explicitly disallow to use persistent connections by sending the header "Connection: close" in the response.
For a regular http server with small web pages (small number of files per webpage) this would not be a problem but those servers also act as server for the generated tiles. A common map view in the browser consists of ~20-40 tiles and for each tile the browser has to establish an separate TCP connection - this is very inefficient and resource consuming. Wouldn't it be better to allow HTTP persistent connections or is there some problem with it I do not recognize?
