I wrote already two post about it, but I haven’t really explained the trick. I usually let my (2 or 3) readers to look at the link I post to avoid repeating myself. This time, due to the “enormous” success of my post about Firefox Network Pipelining, I think it’s better to post here how to do it.
Type “about:config” into the address bar and press enter.
Look for the following entries:
- network.http.pipelining
- network.http.proxy.pipelining
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Set the first two options to true. The 3rd one could be set between 1 and 8. Other web sites tell to set it to 30, but if you read mozilla’s code (or more easily their webpage) you’ll discover that the maximum amount is 8.
MozillaZine Knowledge Base tells that it could give problem with some webservers. I bet IIS servers are on that list..
If you want to know my settings, I put true to the first one, false to the proxy one (I don’t user proxy now) and I left the default value 4 for maxrequests.
