[erlang-questions] Slow response of post method of https request using httpc erlang module

[aadi i]

Hi Bob,

We send thousands of httpc requests(post) in parallel to server. Which 
internally does ssl communication for every request. 

What do you mean by " configuring httpc to allow more parallel 
connections"? How can we do it.

Thanks,
Aadi
