2 connections per browser session ?
|
|
|
| ok,
i am having a few issues with many repetative requests to a server...
having looked at downloading x files in parrallel it seems [in ie and
firefox] that from a single browser session you can only get 2 connections
to apache, once 2 files are downloading then no further navigation /
downloading.
i assume that this is to stop a single user swamping the server,
is this a correct assumption ??
is this something i can change the number [up it to 5?] ??
[i've had a good look through httpd.conf and faq / news groups]
i think this may be causing issues when i am using multiple javascript
xmlhttp requests,
when it get busy and 3 or more elements on the page are updating it seems to
have problems
anyway, the question is basically how do i allow more than 2 connections
from a single browser session
TIA

Yes, but it is not limited by Apache, it is limited by the web browser. Most web
browsers use a limit of two to five simultaneous downloads in order to 'play
nice' with the web server. You might be able to change the limit in your
browser, but you will need to ask in a browser specific news group.

| I copied this from my windows help.
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Win
dows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings
3. On the Edit menu, point to New click DWORD Value, and then add the
following registry values:
Value name: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal
Value Name: MaxConnectionsPerServer
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal
4. Quit Registry Editor.
This procedure is for informational purposes only. Changing the maximum
number of connections beyond two is a violation of Internet standards;
Microsoft does not recommended this procedure for use outside closed
networks.
