RE: How to tell an HTTP client to limit parallel connections?

I don't think such a thing exists... but you may be able to solve this creatively:

A) Set up a proxy server that multiplexes all of the connections into a single one. A reverse proxy could even handle the SSL and alleviate the load on the embedded server. Although it sounds like maybe this isn't an option for you?

OR

B) Redesign the page it generates to need fewer requests (ideally, only one): inline CSS/JS, data: url images, etc. It's not the prettiest solution, but it could work.
