I'm aware of the existance of a protocol for HTTP to persistent connections
where one object/document can be downloaded, and after that is done, another
can be requested and downloaded, and again as needed.  But I know not of any
protocol for multiplexing so that I can have concurrency of the transfers of
multiple images at the same time.  Is there an RFC for this or is it some
other kind of document?
