if there is a priority stuff, one mandatory thing: order should be respected
for equal priorities... not easy but for example when using WebDav MKCOL...
you do not want the dependent HTTP PUTs to happen before it occurred so they
must be pipe-lined to the same connection or must wait for the response.

it is a kind of dependency graph in requests (not very complex though, just
the type of "handle2" comes after "handle1"), each time you are sure that a
request will come after another, you enable the follower.
