-HTTP Pipelining with libcurl
-============================
-
-Background
-
-Since pipelining implies that one or more requests are sent to a server before
-the previous response(s) have been received, we only support it for multi
-interface use.
-
-Considerations
-
-When using the multi interface, you create one easy handle for each transfer.
-Bascially any number of handles can be created, added and used with the multi
-interface - simultaneously. It is an interface designed to allow many
-simultaneous transfers while still using a single thread. Pipelining does not
-change any of these details.
-
-API
-
-We've added a new option to curl_multi_setopt() called CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
-that enables "attempted pipelining" and then all easy handles used on that
-handle will attempt to use an existing pipeline.
-
-Details
-
-- A pipeline is only created if a previous connection exists to the same IP
-  address that the new request is being made to use.
-
-- Pipelines are only supported for HTTP(S) as no other currently supported
-  protocol has features resemembling this, but we still name this feature
-  plain 'pipelining' to possibly one day support it for other protocols as
-  well.
-
-- HTTP Pipelining is for GET and HEAD requests only.
-
-- When a pipeline is in use, we must take precautions so that when used easy
-  handles (i.e those who still wait for a response) are removed from the multi
-  handle, we must deal with the outstanding response nicely.
-
-- Explicitly asking for pipelining handle X and handle Y won't be supported.
-  It isn't easy for an app to do this association. The lib should probably
-  still resolve the second one properly to make sure that they actually _can_
-  be considered for pipelining. Also, asking for explicit pipelining on handle
-  X may be tricky when handle X get a closed connection.
