Short description: connection issues with webkit

Did:

Did something change in the way webkit handles persistent connection from qt version 4.4.3 to 4.5.1?

With 4.4.3, when one HTTP connection is used as a persistent connection, webkit can still use the other to download files (e.g. images, css, js).  But with 4.5.1, it only downloads one file max after the persistent connection has been setup.  It doesn't continue until the persistent connection is killed.

Also, with 4.4.3, as soon as javascript is pushed from the server to the display through the persistent connection, webkit processes it properly (updates visual content, if the javascript does so).  On 4.5.1, the javascript won't be processed until the connection is killed.

The behavior seems identical whether 'forever iframe' or XMLHttpRequest method is used.

We would need a test case.
I close the task for now, please comment with a test case so I can reopen it.
