Jeber Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Has anyone tried the "pipelining" feature in Mozilla 1.3.1? I'm a coward. What does it do? Is it worth trying as a beta feature? Did it hose your system? Glad I didn't try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the web browser equivalent. Try it you'll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the web browser equivalent. Try it you'll like it. But the FAQ says if a server doesnt support HTTP1.1, then you'll ge an error. how many HTTP1.1 servers are out there? Did you ever get a 404 error for a valid website, or the HTTP1.1 fairly common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlinecomputers Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I've never seen an error. All moden webservers use HTML 1.1I'm using the feature now. You can turn it on or off without a browser restart.I'm running Mozilla 1.4b. Don't know if Firebird supports this or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zox Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Firebird does support it.Type: "about:config" in your address bar and enter.Scroll down and double click "Pipilening" or similar and change it to "yes" or "true".I am using it too and have never run into problems so far.

GolfProRM Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Zox,Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that Firebird supported it too...If you go to the about:config as you said, it's listed as network.http.pipelining just set the boolean value to true and you're all set!

zox Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Thanks GolfProRM for correction, I don't have Firebird at hand here, so it was from my memory which slowly fading away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
