i gather that twisted web is http 1.0, and http 1.0 doesn't support http
pipelining, so i assume twisted web doesn't support it
twisted web2 says it fully supports 1.1, and 1.1 servers are required to
support http pipelining, so i assume twisted web2 supports it
so with a client that supports pipelining, wouldn't twisted web2 be much
faster (for pages that have a lot of small images)?
also, does twisted web2 support pipelining responses or only requests?
