Maximum simultaneous connections in Preferences

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think there's a hidden pref for this already and it's just a matter of
hooking it up to the UI. Higher priority enhancement since this smoothes
out a lot of connection problems.

 From my about:config    ( minor speed bump + smoothness w/ dsl )
In about:config set...

network.http.pipeling          user set  boolean  true

network.http.proxy.pipelining  "                 "     true
*
network.http.max-connections   user set  integer  60

network.http.max-connections-per-server    set @ 32

network.http.max-persistent- connections-per-proxy     set @ 32

network.http.max-persistent- connections-per-server    set @ 26

ADD the following string:

nglayout.initialpaint.delay   user  set  intrger        set @ 0
** removes 250ms delay b4 page rendering  -   optional **

I thought it was. Thanks for jogging my memory, Tony. This should be very easy 
to add
to the next version.

You're welcome Cameron. The 2 re: pipelining are in the prefs UI - BUT have to 
be set
"true"  
for the other settings to have an effect.

I don't remember offhand what the default settings were for the above. If you 
are
adding to the UI,
...suggest giving a "range" starting with the defaults. ( or rather a input box 
)
(One thing I like re: about:config  is being able to double click on pref to 
return
to default)

Also #'s @ settings are not absolute. Some lower setting #'s may be better 
depending
on ISP. 
( also comp. speed, connection speed.)
If users get Denial of Service ("DNS") -  lower values are in order.

 The "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" is not a default pref. - Will have to right click
in the about:config then add.

 oops - not DNS. rather if servers start throwing timeouts. ~ duh!

Marking accepted for 9.1 so that the localizers can add the strings

• Added labels: Milestone-Release9.1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Added to pref-http.xul and pref-http.dtd
The boxes don't quite line up in the groupbox, but I'm over it. It only all just
barely fits as it is.

Only network.http.max-* are exposed; the rest must still be accessed through
about:config.

VERIFIED
