17238	Parallel HTTP Requests	sterlo		"It would be cool if we could make multiple requests via HTTP in parallel rather than having each request stack up and block.

Some references to how some others are doing it:
http://pecl.php.net/package/pecl_http Of course that is in C. :)

also: http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.httprequestpool.php

The basic premise is, use a request pool. How we would implement such a thing in WordPress, I am not sure at the moment.

If we could do this then things that need to make external requests wouldn't need to block page/asset requests. Sites would speed up and unicorns would appear."	feature request	closed	normal		HTTP		normal	wontfix		cyberhobo@… kpayne@…
