When using wget in separate windows to get the /sleep page, there is no conflict. Both wget's return 10 seconds after hitting carriage return. When using firefox and loading the /sleep page in two different tabs, the second tab doesn't start its 10 second count until the first window completes. If you change the second window to use an alias for the host name (e.g. localhost instead of the DNS name), then both tabs complete in 10 seconds. So it is firefox that is not sending the second request until the first is complete, but only when the request is going to the same URL. -- -- Jim Weirich jim@weirichhouse.org http://onestepback.org ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth (in a memo to Peter van Emde Boas)
