I have a question about the behavior of a browser( especially Firefox ) tackling with persistent connections:
Must all the requests sent in one pipelined persistent connection direct to the same server? What about a request specified by user from address bar — may it reuse an already established persistent connection to send its request or need another connection?
Regards.
Yes, HTTP goes over TCP, and TCP is a connection between 2 hosts only.
It may. I’ve not seen any browsers do that.
