Question

Problem: When executing around 10 jQuery $.ajax requests at once, I can see all the requests in firebug in the (pending) state, however, it looks like the browser is only handling one request at a time. This causes the rest of the requests to timeout like it was one big request. Is there a way to resolve this, so that all of the async requests sent out at one time are handled in parallel? Thanks!

$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: testScriptPHP,
        async: true,
        cache: false,
        timeout: 30000,
...

Found the issue!

Turns out the lighttpd.conf had max workers commented out which was causing lighttpd to run with 1 worker!

I upped max workers to 30 and it’s flying now!
