Gracefully fail on request pipelining

From Peter Wagenet
[...] If I understand correctly HTTP 1.1 compliant servers are not required to support pipelining but should fail gracefully if they don't. As I understand this, if FF sends 5 requests at once, this means that Thin should return only the first request and ignore the rest. Eventually FF will then ask Thin for the files again, but one at a time. However, it seems to me that Thin is returning the last request which FF mistakes for the first request. So we get some really weird things where files have the wrong data.
In my case, I'm running into this problem with SproutCore's sc-server which uses Thin when available. I'll talk to the maintainer about this issue and see if we can disable persistent connections for the time being. However it still seems that this may be a bug with Thin as well.
