I wish there was a header a server could send to declare it supports pipelining.

  "HTTP/1.1"

    Yeah. More like I wish implementors would follow standard.

      Pipelining support is optional. It's up to the client to back off if its attempts fail. 8.1.2.2 Clients MUST also be prepared to resend their requests if the server closes the connection before sending all of the corresponding responses.

        > HTTP/1.1 conforming servers are required to support pipelining. This does not mean that servers are required to pipeline responses, but that they are required to not fail if a client chooses to pipeline requests. http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/pipelining-faq.html http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/pipelini... 8.1.2.2 that you quoted [RFC2616] continues: > A server MUST send its responses to those requests in the same order that the requests were received.
