How does browsers handle secondary requests

[Ch...@labware.com]

Guys,
               A basic question for you ...When a single request for a 
resource like a jsp generates many smaller secondary requests (like 
for.gif, java scripts etc ) how does browser handle them ? Are they 
processed parallely or sequentially ? How does Jmeter treat them ?

browser makes different connections and a single connection
can serve multiple requests(http 1.1)..if using firefox there's a setting in
about:config to set how many parallel connections you can have
to a server(4 or 6)..http 1.1 rfc states that there should be a limit of
2 connections to a server..if you want to serve too much static content
you'd be better off serving from separate domains..

jmeter does it sequentially...get the plugin tamper data for firefox and
generate
graphs to see it closely..there's checkbox in request sampler which when
checked
gets the static content all the time in jmeter(sequentially)
