1. A method for policy-based network traffic queue management, comprising:
determining, by a network traffic management apparatus, when an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request queue should be dequeued based on one or more queue management rules and in response to receiving a current HTTP request from a client computing device: identifying, by the network traffic management apparatus, one of a plurality of existing HTTP requests stored in the request queue based at least in part on a utilization level of the request queue and a score associated with each of the existing requests, wherein the utilization level is less than full utilization and the score is generated based on a type of content associated with each of the existing requests, and removing, the existing request from the request queue, when the determining indicates that the request queue should be dequeued; generating, by the network traffic management apparatus, another score for the current request based at least in part on another type of additional content associated with the current request; and inserting, by the network traffic management apparatus, the current request into the request queue as associated with the another score.
