I know, but HTTP/1.1 does allow for ``threaded sessions'', so to speak. What
I don't know without glancing at any RFC's is whether HTTP/1.1 clients open
multiple sockets on port 80 or several sockets in the dynamic range.

Hence my question: which services require the setup keyword and which don't?
