Well a stream should just be one contiinous data flow through a
connection.  It has nothing to do with persistant connections.
persistant connections means multiple endependant http requests will be
done through one socket connection (so without closing it at the end of
the first request.

If the browser won't do multiple streams at a time, perhaps it's
connection limit is set too low.
