By using HTTP.

And lightweight ICP for querying neighbour caches to see who may have
the requested content. (not for fetching the content, that's done using
HTTP)

It's using as many TCP connections as there is concurrent reqests (not
connections).

For security reasons (and ease of implementation) no pipelining is used,
only keep-alive (persistent connections).
