Improved viewer and script communications (Re: [sldev] Puppettering Branch)

[Teravus Ovares]

Can anyone confirm that the client does not use a library that respects this
2 connection limitation?   So far in testing, it appears that it does.
When two threads get stuck, it fails to do anything else via http.    We've
tried to use HTTP CAPS for inventory, and consistently, when the inventory
service runs slow, the client stops making *any* further http requests.

Best Regards
