Now, if it's not supported by anyone, it should get pulled from the RFC. And now that the browser engines are almost all abstracted from the browser that wraps around them, maybe it's time to look at what works to make browsers and content delivery faster. Cool.

]]> Comment on Google Chrome: One thing we do know… (HTTP Pipelining) by Mark Pauley http://newestindustry.org/2008/09/02/google-chrome-one-thing-we-do-know-http-pipelining/comment-page-1/#comment-1202 Mark Pauley Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:52:27 +0000 http://newestindustry.org/?p=1896#comment-1202 You're wrong. Chrome could pipeline, nothing in Webkit prevents this. Chrome doesn't use the CFNetwork loader nor does WebKit marry the browser to any given network / HTTP stack, just look at the code. The reason Chrome doesn't support pipelining is likely to be the same reason that no other browser pipelines out of the box: pipelining is broken. Pipelining only works when the remote server supports it, if the remote server fails to pipeline then your page will actually load much slower. This is the case with IIS 4 and 5 which are common enough to cause concern. Also it turns out that some mods to Apache don't pipeline properly, resulting in garbled output. The ultimate solution will be a compromise as is seen with the fledgling 'support' for pipelining in Firefox's HTTP stack which is off by default. You're wrong.
