Does jquery perform the ajax associated http / tcp session or is that passed to the browser to accomplish?
Is it assumed that the ajax call closes the tcp session at the calls completion (I see an open for ajax but no close)?
I ask because ....
My jquery application is being used by a micro running my own web server.
As of today, I limit the number of open sockets (tcp connections) to 3 for performance and resource concerns.
When Chrome opens a page on my web server -- it automatically open 3 sockets and uses them to transfer all aspects of the web page.
My Page -- will load data via ajax after the html and other files are loaded .. Chrome (browser) may have all 3 sockets utilized. That's why I ask --- if the browser handles the agax call -- it may use one of the 3 existing sockets. If not --- I have some pondering to do -- since currently -- the web server keeps a socket alive for 15 seconds of inactivity before it closes it.
Thanks for any insight.
