  Browser: "Hey server, send me index.html please" Server: "Sure, here is index.html and you'll need style.css as well, so here is a second stream with that"

  Client: may I get /index.html please? Server: sure, here's index.html, theme.css, and jquery.js. Client: hey wait! I didn't ask for... oh, nvm, good call. Now I can display all this without asking you for anything else. EDIT: See this: https://youtu.be/0yzJAKknE_k?t=30m52s https://youtu.be/0yzJAKknE_k?t=30m52s for more details

      This is just fancy cache-prewarming. The client still decides what resources to request, but those it wants to fetch are available locally at request time. ("just" as a qualifier for nefariousness, not usefulness)
