    ABSTRACT:: 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%.
