Does Ktor CIO implement request pipelining? IE, reusing the same connection for multiple requests? If so, I think I may have another vulnerability in Ktor.

pipelineMaxSize

So, yes it does. Looks like I'm going to need to write another email 😆

[cy]

Note that pipelining is disabled by default

[cy]

Since nobody cares and knows what is it, I’d say nobody enables it 🙂

[jlleitschuh]

@cy It looks like it defaults to 20.

When I'm thinking of HTTP pipelining I'm referring to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining

If you say it's disabled by default, how does someone enable it?

[jlleitschuh]

Oh, ktor supports Keep-Alive so this will probably still work

[cy]

There is pipelining option

[cy]

it is false by default

[jlleitschuh]

@cy That's a client configuration, not a server config

[cy]

In server you can’t disable it. So, what’s the problem with it?

[jlleitschuh]

I'll DM you
