Pipelining is a technique in which multiple http requests are written out to a socket without waiting for response. Since it is possible to send several HTTP requests in a single tcp packet, this reduces network load and enhances speed.
IE does not provides any way to enable Pipelining.
To enable pipelining in Firefox use the following steps:
Type about:config in your browsers address bar.
Modify the following values:
- network.http.pipelining to true
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to a number between 2 to 8
- network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
The HTTP/1.1 specification does not says how many requests to pipeline (specified by network.http.pipelining.maxrequests).
