Does IIS 5.0 server support HTTP pipelining

Hi,

I was looking for any article whether IIS 5.0 support HTTP pipelining or
not? But I not able to find a concreate answer. I able to find some article
saying dotnet framework is integrated with HTTP pipelining.

My question is if HTTP pipelining is integrated with dotnet framework, can
it be disable? If it can how we do it? Lastly what the impact it will cos to
IIS server if the HTTP pipelining is disable?

Hope someone will be able to answer my question.

HTTP Pipelining is specified in HTTP/1.1 RFC2616.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html

There is no switch within IIS to disable it.

HTTP Pipelining is initiated by the client, so you really cannot
disable it on the server.

..Net Framework does not have anything to do with HTTP Pipelining. The
"pipeline" that is referenced is the ability to extend ASP.Net HTTP
processing within its "HTTP request pipeline" by inserting extension
modules and handlers into it to customize behavior. This has no
relation to the concept of HTTP Pipelining, or the sending of multiple
HTTP requests over one connection before accepting a stream of
responses.

I sense a lot of confusion within your questions. Can you clarify what
you are actually trying to accomplish by asking about HTTP Pipelining?
