Well, they were right - the browser controls the number of
connections. In firefox, for example:
about:config
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server;6
The *user* can change this. You, the programmer, can't. Unless you
are working on something used purely internally within an
organization and your IT dept. has complete control
over the browser installations (very unlikely) then you must:
A. Change your app so it doesn't need to make so many requests
or
B. Ask your users to change their configuration.
The only sensible answer is A.
