In loading a page from a server - in this case a custom server - FF is attempting to download
a. The page
b. Favicon
c. A background PNG file being used by a CSS style in the page
On many occassions - but not always - it spawns multiple threads and attempts to get b. and c. simultaneously. If for some reason the server refuses to spawn its own thread to cater to the simultaneous requests what would happen? Would the browser try again or would it conclude that the page is defective and simply give up? From what I am seeing I am inclined to think that it is the latter that happens. If that is the case, is there some way I can persuade the browser to continue?
