On: iOS6 breaks long polling

[mh-]

definitely a bug. most browsers, going back a decade, support 4-8+ concurrent connections to a given host (hostname, really).

[jlgreco → mh-]

Hell, even elinks does:

    Name: max_connections_to_host
    Type: Integer [1..8]
    Value: 8

    Description:
    Maximum number of concurrent connections to a given host.

[taligent → mh-]

Not necessarily.

While your desktop can handle 8 connections the 3G connection can't.

[gmaslov → taligent]

A TCP connection costs nothing if it's merely open and waiting. OK, it costs a few bytes of space in some tables somewhere, but no actual bandwidth.

[jlgreco → taligent]

Odd how 3G could handle it, until a day or two ago.
