How to solve "0 ms (Request Canceled)" problem?

[laboot]

More about network packets. Let's take this test run, namely request #8.

Response header (326 bytes + 4 bytes (2 CRs). Total 330 bytes):

Quote:HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 05 May 2010 06:45:14 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.15
Last-Modified: Tue, 04 May 2010 09:49:42 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 2498
Cache-Control: public, max-age=2592000
Expires: Fri, 04 Jun 2010 06:45:14 GMT
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=99
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: image/jpeg

As we can see, image is 2498 bytes long. So how it fits into packets? If we want to squeeze it into 2 packets, total image size should be smaller than:
payload * packetcount - header
We translate this to bytes, and get:
1460 * 2 - 330 = 2590
Mathematicians says that 2498 is smaller than 2590. Tadaaa. We win!

Also, to reduce response header size, someone may consider to remove Last-Modified header line (e.g. Last-Modified: Tue, 04 May 2010 09:49:42 GMT). But, after image expires (1 month: Expires: Fri, 04 Jun 2010 06:45:14 GMT), there will be penalty in form of new image download (200), instead of not modified (304). Think.
