I don't think the explanation given in the article is correct because it doesn't account for session management or transmission sequencing. Without some creative playing with load/connection distribution logic you can't maintain a single connection across multiple paths and multiple destinations, and even if you could the TCP sequence numbers are going to be totally out of whack, which should cause a reset anyway.
Unless that is the stack is poorly writeen... Which is of course the case, but I don't know if its poorly wroitten in that specific way.
Plus most any real firewall or proxy server would vomit on seeing the malformed http request from a client (at either end). It would completley screw up any stateful inspection firewall, and wouldn't work with a proxy anyway snese the proxy would undoubtedly make a fully qualified connection to the web server, with preamble etc...
That being said, it is entirely possible that the backend (presentation and application layer) logic and buffers within the httpd arent being reset. In fact that would make sense, and arguably would be a case of good programming practice for efficient resource mangement, which has never really been a priority at MS (actually not completely true but ever since they decided to compromise the HAL for NT3.51 it has been)
Ok, this movie is INCREDIBLY cheesy, and more than a little dumb, but THAT'S THE POINT.
It's essentially a radio serial, or pulp comic of the '30s put to the screen, and as far as I'm concerned it succeeds admirably in that.
It has genuinely funny moments, and complete non-stop action. No real plot other than the standard "Oh oh loved one in trouble 'again' must save, oh and yeah the world will end if we don't thing".
In fact in one of the funniest scenes in the movie, they make fun of the hackneyed plot. Actually they make fun of themselves throughout the entire movie.
Final analysis, it's not Indiana jones, but Harrison Ford will be 60 in eight months, so it's the best we've got.
Oh and Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velasquez are both yummy.

435 comments so far and no-ones mentiioned the greatest all time example of this, Jimmy Carter.
Hmm, Aleksandyr Nevsky anyone?
Or Battleship Potemkin which is probably my favorite of his films.
Yeah they were propaganda, but they were also great examples of filmaking, and the Prokofiev scores are some of the best ever written.
Of course how many people in the general populace actually remember who Sergei Eisenstein was?

Man, what got his knickers in a bunch.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong
