1.1 capable browsers

["Philip A. Prindeville" <ph...@enteka.com>]

Anyone know which of the existing browsers reuse connections in
HTTP?  That is, transfer more than one object per connection?  Also,
I noticed that Netscape 4.0 doesn't have preferences for the number
of connections or the amount of buffer space for each...

HTTP doesn't have objects.

Most of the popular clients do multiple requests per connection, aka
persistent connections aka keepalives.  Navigator 2.x and later (although
2.x is even more broken than most), MSIE 3.x (possibly earlier), and a
good scattering of less common clients. Most of them do it using
pre-HTTP/1.1 draft methods.
