How can we do it with Apache? We have an application that generate relative path to our resources(images, css, js). Can Apache implement pipelining or we should try to modify our application? Thanks in advanced!! Hello,

Go to the "Net" tab and it will show you details on page load times (per item)... and total load times. It'll give you a good idea on what is going on (it's even somewhat graphical). The only production set-up I've done with fake pipelining was a site that had a significant number of small images (a thumbnail gallery-type site). I split up all the different categories of images into different sub-domains and it really did pay off in overall page load time. Just remember that the advantage is only shown if there are a LOT of elements on a page. Otherwise, the extra NS lookups and TCP hand-shakes make it a bad idea. - Dustin Weber @ Jeremy

Apache is not an option at this point. Considering the idea of different ports for achieving fake pipelining, How will I be able to test to see if there *really* is a difference, like you tested with sub-domains. What did you do? Also I'd like to compare my results on port changing with your results on sub-domains. -Jer A Thank you for replying Dustin.

I know for a fact that alternate subdomains do though.. because I've tried it. I hate to tell you this, but you should probably consider switching to Apache on Windows (or preferably Linux) for solving a lot of the problem that IIS has (especially on Windows XP Pro). You can use Virtual Hosts to achieve what you are trying to do very easily (http://lifehacker.com/software/ask-lifehacker/ask-lifehacker-multiple-subdomains-147913.php). It's honestly not very difficult to get the hang of Apache and you'll suddenly realize a huge plethora of easy-to-use and easy-to-implement functionality that weren't options in IIS (such as .htaccess files, virtual hosts, and mod-rewrite functionality just to name a few). Point is, you can set up all the virtual hosts (subdomains) you want in Apache quickly and easily. Hope that helps! - Dustin Weber @Jeremy

I cannot create subdomains. If I were to create a simple "get" webserver, that acts as an addition to iis (which calls index.html), and have each instance of this simple-server listening on different ports, eg . one instance for images eg. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088/image1.gif ... etc., will I be able to achieve fake http pipelining? If this is not the case, than how would a be able to create a tcp listener (webserver), where I will be able to assign different sub.domains to my ip address, for each instance? -Jer A I have windows xp pro.

Why’s it funny? It’s just a ‘pipeline’.. right?
