Details

In our (Hughes Network Systems) testing of the 4.x browsers, we found that the 
use of "keep-alive" TCP conections was not working when the browser switched to 
secure mode (SSL). Support of persistent connectionsis critical for browser 
performance in satellite-based networks.
ccing mark.
Severity: critical → major
gagan, when will keep alive be implemented/on for http?
It is already in... but we had some problems and so wasn't switched on by
default. Its on my list of things for M14. and its in bug 10738 adding dep.
Depends on: 10738
Target Milestone: M14
Bulk moving all Browser Security bugs to new Security: General component.  The 
previous Security component for Browser will be deleted.
Component: Security → Security: General
since 10738 is fixed.  this should just work.  junruh, could you verify?
