Re: OS/400 command set

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, HTTP is "stateless".  One connection per request and inherently can not
tell if it is a different computer or same computer for next connection.

Simultaneous connections are requests at one time.

So they are saying it can handle 3600 requests at any given time.

Think of it as 3600 people FTPing a file at exactly the same time ... except
the file is most likely several kilobyte text file.

so they are saying it can build and teardown 3600 connections at any given
instance.
