Handle keep alive as long as there's the request contains 'connection:Keep-Alive' header, no matter what the client is 1.0 or 1.1: http://sockjs.github.com/sockjs-protocol/sockjs-protocol-0.3.3.html#section-157

Xitrum does not support real pipelining. A client may send multiple requests, but Xitrum will not process them at concurrently. Xitrum will process one by one.

"Where problems come in is with pipe-lined requests, meaning a browser sends a bunch of requests in a big blast, then hangs out for all the responses. This was such a horrible stupid idea that pretty much everone gets it wrong and doesn't support it fully, if at all. The reason is it's much too easy to blast a server with a ton of request, wait a bit so they hit proxied backends, and then close the socket. The web server and the backends are now screwed having to handle these requests which will go nowhere."
