title: Is SPDY any different than http multiplexing over keep alive connections
body: <p>HTTP 1.1 supports keep alive connections, connections are not closed until "Connection: close" is sent.</p>
  
  <p>So, if the browser, in this case firefox has network.http.pipelining enabled and network.http.pipelining.maxrequests increased isn't the same effect in the end? </p>
  
  <p>I know that these settings are disabled because for some websites this could increase load but I think a simple http header flag could tell the browser that is ok tu use multiplexing and this problem can be solved easier.</p>
  
  <p>Wouldn't be easier to change default settings in browsers than invent a new protocol that increases complexity especially in the http servers?</p>
