+// Test to demonstrate HTTP pipelining response ordering issue
+//
+// HTTP/1.1 pipelining allows multiple requests to be sent on a single
+// connection without waiting for responses, but responses MUST be sent in the
+// same order as requests were received (RFC 2616 Section 8.1.2.2).
+//
+// This test sends two pipelined requests:
+// 1. GET /ok - Slow response (goes through 4-stage pipeline processing)
+// 2. GET /metrics - Fast response (handled directly, just collects metrics)
+//
+// Even though /ok takes longer to process due to pipeline overhead, the /ok
+// response should be sent first since it was requested first. Currently this
+// test FAILS because the faster /metrics response completes before /ok and
+// gets sent out of order.
