[Opensim-dev] FYI: HTTP pipelining in Sigularity

[Nicky Perian]

Hi , I have some interest in how this works.

I have a version of Kokua that is maintained closely to the Second Life
viewer. This viewer has good performance on  3rd Rock Grid, Great Canadian
Grid, jOpenSimWorlds, and OsGrid up until it went down. On other grids and
git master the grid inventory downloads but the user (My Inventory) does
not.

Is it possible that the Keepalive variable is true on the good grids and
false on the others? If so, how is Keepalive set for http inventory? It
appears its true/false state is set in code. I have a local git master and
can compile it for testing this theory. Which bool Keepalive do I need to
set?

Thanks,
Nicky

P.S. Once logged to one of the good grids I can HG tp to any grid that
allows it and everything is normal.
