http pipelining

HTTP pipelining appeared in HTTP/1.1. It allows clients to send multiple requests at once, without waiting for an answer. Servers can send multiple answers without closing their socket too. This results in fewer roundtrips and faster load times. Since it is possible to cram several HTTP requests in the same TCP packet (the average MSS, or maximum segment size, being 512 bytes), fewer TCP packets are sent over the network, so pipelining benefits network load too.
