I don't think this is how HTTP/1.1 pipelining works. It is still a 
request-response protocol - the only "pipelining" is in the fact that it 
doesn't require a separate connection session for each request-response 
pair. That is:

HTTP/1.0:
	<establish connection>
	GET(url_1)
	readResponse(url_1)
	<close connection>
	<establish connection>
	GET(url_2)
	readResponse(url_2)
	<close connection>
	<establish connection>
	GET(url_3)
	readResponse(url_3)
	<close connection>

HTTP/1.1:
	<establish connection>
	GET(url_1)
	readResponse(url_1)
	GET(url_2)
	readResponse(url_2)
	GET(url_3)
	readResponse(url_3)
	<close connection>

Or maybe you are thinking of establishing parallel connections? In that 
case look for some examples using threads and sockets...
