The server has to order critical stuff first on a pipelined connection to reduce latency but this approach can easily send stuff the client requested and will request, while collecting data serverside by any number of threads.
- tialaramex 5y agoIs your question, "Why didn't we invent a better protocol than HTTP/1.1" ? Because the answer is we did, but the previous poster doesn't like newer HTTP protocols. If you just meant, "Why didn't we ignore how the HTTP/1.1 protocol is defined and do something else?", that's not what a protocol is, you're not going to build a successful application without agreement about the protocol.
