42.1.1 PackMimeHTTP Client Application

Each PackMimeHTTP client controls the HTTP request sizes that are transferred. Each PackMimeHTTP client takes the following steps:

• if the connection is persistent and consists of more than one request, then the client samples all request sizes, response sizes, and inter-request times for the connection
• if the connection only consists of one request, then the client samples the request size and the response size
• send the first HTTP request to the server
• listen for the HTTP response
• when the entire HTTP response has been received, the client sets a timer to expire when the next request should be made, if applicable
• when the timer expires, the next HTTP request is sent, and the above process is repeated until all requests have been completed
