RFC 2616 section 8.1.1 mentiones pipelining as one > purpose of persistent connections. More specifically, section 8.1.2.2 says That's HTTP/1.1. Fnord is not actually a HTTP/1.1 web server. It also does not support chunked encoding, for example. Fnord supports some aspects of HTTP/1.1, but that's it. Note that a client can not know whether a server supports HTTP/1.1 before sending the request, thanks to proxies and load balancers not even if a previous request was answered as supporting HTTP/1.1.
