If you use Firefox you may be use to seeing hints and tips - one of the favourites is to alter the pipelining value from false to true. Accompanying this often comes the advice to set pipelining max requests to anywhere between 32 - 100.
There are a range of issues that could result from this advice were it accurate - but what I want to know is this, as coders could you double check the veracity of the statement below:-
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests :32 has no meaning because this variable accepts only values from 1 to NS_HTTP_MAX_PIPELINED_REQUESTS, which is set to 8 (see nsHttp.h file in Firefox source).
I have provided what I think is the correct link to back up the view that values above 8 are pointless - but I lack the all round knowledge to be certain that I am looking at the right piece of information - I think I am, but I don't 'know' I am.

I know this may stray from the norm a little - and understand if you feel it not appropriate for this forum - but I would appreciate it if you could apply your knowledge for me and take a look and tell me if I'm right on this occasion.
