AFAIK, HTTP Pipelining basicly means that the client-side fires off multiple
requests without waiting for the responses to arrive first. The server then
sends back responses in the same order the requests were passed-in.

The subject has been touched before, but not much more. I know several
libwww-users claim they can't switch to libcurl unless it supports
pipelining.

The trickiest part to get this added to libcurl must be to work out the
interface!
