We compare the performance of HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 on a high latency, low bandwidth wireless network. HTTP/1.0 is known to have low throughput and consume excessive network and server resources on today''s graphics-intensive web pages. A high latency, low bandwidth network only magnifies these problems. HTTP/1.1 was developed to remedy these problems. We show that on a Ricochet wireless network, HTTP/1.1 doubles throughput over HTTP/1.0 and decreases the number of packets sent by 60%.
