Comment:

 New link for the Go not supporting notification of new requests on
 pipelined connections while handling the previous request (code.google.com
 link in the description is broken):
   https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.3/src/pkg/net/http/server.go#L1169
 {{{
                 // HTTP cannot have multiple simultaneous active
 requests.[*]
                 // Until the server replies to this request, it can't read
 another,
                 // so we might as well run the handler in this goroutine.
                 // [*] Not strictly true: HTTP pipelining.  We could let
 them all process
                 // in parallel even if their responses need to be
 serialized.
 }}}
 Still the case in 1.6.2:
   https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.6.2/src/net/http/server.go#L1467
