 Hi, Bosh client in pidgin sends bosh requests using POST method in a http
 pipeline. According to http rfc (rfc 2616), section 8.1.2.2

 ''Clients SHOULD NOT pipeline requests using non-idempotent methods or
 non-idempotent sequences of methods (see section 9.1.2). Otherwise, a
 premature termination of the transport connection could lead to
 indeterminate results. A client wishing to send a non-idempotent request
 SHOULD wait to send that request until it has received the response status
 for the previous request. ''

 POST method is a non-idempotent method, so from the above quote, if POST
 method is used in a pipeline then the client must wait until the response
 to the previous method is received. I have seen from tcpdump that pidgin
 does not wait till the response for the previous request is got.
