NSURLConnection uses persistent connections (that's what the
"Connection: keep-alive" header means), but it does not pipeline
because of the large number of servers in the wild that choke on
pipelined transactions.
CFHTTPStream using persistent connections does pipeline by default;
maybe you can use that? See CFNetwork/CFHTTPStream.h for details.

Hi,

I'm planning to write an app in Cocoa that needs to download a lot
of HTTP resources as quickly as possible. Hence, I would like to use
pipelining to use one connection for multiple requests (for HTTP 1.1
servers). I noticed that NSURLConnection sends the header
"Connection: keep-alive" which would suggest that it does implement
pipelining.
Does NSURLConnection use pipelining? If so, how do I use it (or is
it automatic somehow)?
If not, what alternative ways of fetching pipelined HTTP resources
do you recommend?
