<h2>Advanced Preferences - HTTP Networking</h2>
<p>This section describes how to use the HTTP Networking preferences panel. If
you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:
<p> 1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.<br>
2. Under the Advanced category, click HTTP Networking. (If no subcategories are
visible, double-click Advanced to expand the list.)</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>The HTTP Networking preferences panel is used to configure HTTP-based networking:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Direct Connection Options, Proxy Connection Options: </b>Choose the HTTP
version and options for direct and proxy connections.
<ul>
<li><b>Use HTTP 1.0</b>: Choose this to use the original version of HTTP, standardized
in 1996.</li>
<li><b>Use HTTP 1.1</b>: Choose this to use the new version of HTTP, which offers
performance enhancements, including more efficient use of HTTP connections, better
support for client-side caching, multiple HTTP requests (pipelining), and more
refined control over cache expiration and replacement policies.</li>
<li><b>Enable Keep-Alive</b>: Select this to keep a connection open to make additional
HTTP requests, increasing speed.</li>
<li><b>Enable Pipelining</b>:<b> </b>Select this to enable pipelining, which
allows for more than one HTTP request to be sent to the server at once, reducing
delays loading web pages.<br>
<b>Note</b>: Pipelining is only available with HTTP 1.1.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
