* Precise Error: "`Connection queue exceeded max size`"

## Cause

Affected traffic:  
HTTP 1.1 Pipeline requests/responses :  

* Client Send several GET requests w/o waiting for response
* Server Sends the responses one after the other on different sessions

<br />

If strict hold is "holding" the 1st session, HTTP parsers will not process the 2nd session causing it's traffic to accumulate until its queues reach their limit and triggers a parsing error.
