HTTP 1.1 pipelining

[noviceUser]

can some one guide me how to use HTTP 1.1 pipelining in Python.

Client will generate 3 get requests continuously as shown below and
then read the response for each GET request.

Algorithm
----------
GET(ur1_l)
GET(url_2)
GET(url_3)
readResponse(url_1)
readResponse(url_2)
readResponse(url_3)

i m a python newbie and pls forgive me if this question sounds silly.
thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think this is how HTTP/1.1 pipelining works. It is still a
request-response protocol - the only "pipelining" is in the fact that it
doesn't require a separate connection session for each request-response
pair. That is:

HTTP/1.0:
<establish connection>
GET(url_1)
readResponse(url_1)
<close connection>
<establish connection>
GET(url_2)
readResponse(url_2)
<close connection>
<establish connection>
GET(url_3)
readResponse(url_3)
<close connection>

HTTP/1.1:
<establish connection>
GET(url_1)
readResponse(url_1)
GET(url_2)
readResponse(url_2)
GET(url_3)
readResponse(url_3)
<close connection>

Or maybe you are thinking of establishing parallel connections? In that
case look for some examples using threads and sockets...

C isn't that hard: void (*(*f[])())() defines f as an array of
unspecified size, of pointers to functions that return pointers to
functions that return void.

"Pipelining" != "Connection: Keep-Alive"

Thank you - it's clearer to me now!

But, isn't this a direct consequence of keep-alive?
