No, keep alive is required for pipelining to work, but it doesn't determine
how requests are sent.

Here is a description of what I am trying to do:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/pipelining-faq.html

just in my own client, as Firefox claims IIS doesn't handle pipelined
requests correctly and doesn't even try to send pipelined requests if the
site is served by IIS.
Or if anyone knows about an available client that will send pipelined
requests to IIS, I'd be happy to try that. (Opera doesn't do it for IIS
either)

I'd like to verify the IIS behavior, with a really simple client, basically
sending off 3 requests over a single connection in a nonsequential manner.
like

GET
GET
GET
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 
The aspect of squeezing all 3 GETs into a singel TCP package is not that
important to me, but the ability to send additional requests over the same
connection, before the previous requests come back is. This is ultimately for
an environment that has high latency.

Thanks
