>What I really need is an HTTP header or meta-tag or something that I can u=
se to tell clients to limit themselves to a single connection.

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

A) Set up a proxy server that multiplexes all of the connections into a sin=
gle one. A reverse proxy could even handle the SSL and alleviate the load o=
n the embedded server. Although it sounds like maybe this isn't an option f=
or 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, b=
ut it could work.
