For clients that support HTTP 1.1, HTTP pipelining can be used to accelerate transactions by bundling them inside the same TCP connection, instead of waiting for a response before sending/receiving the next request. This can increase performance when pages containing many images, scripts, and other auxiliary files are all hosted on the same domain, and therefore logically could use the same connection.

Only GET and HEAD methods are supported. Clients must include the Connection: keep-alive HTTP header and use HTTP 1.1 (not 1.0) in order to trigger FortiWeb to allow pipelined requests and send pipelined responses.

This feature is supported only when FortiWeb is operating in reverse proxy or true transparent proxy mode.
