I used MS IE of all browsers ;-). Was convenient cos I was connecting to 
Linux boxes through a Windoze machine. 
IE uses HTTP 1.0, never even touches 1.1 for some reason.

The way to prevent a browser like Mozilla bundling querues together is 
(for 1.1) to add a Connection: close header to the request. The server 
will repeat that header in the reply and the browser will know to forget 
about the bundled queries it has made and re-request them over separate 
connections.
