If we use httpd as a proxy, it'll close the connection immediately if we are not using:


<pre>
<pre>
Connection: Keep-Alive
Connection: Keep-Alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=3600
</pre>

httpd will react to that if [[Httpd_KeepAlive#KeepAlive|KeepAlive]] is "On", and will keep the connection alive for [[Httpd_KeepAliveTimeout#KeepAliveTimeout|KeepAliveTimeout]] seconds.

Overview

To close connection immediately: 

telnet localhost 10000
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:10000
Connection: close

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 37
Server: NovaOrdis http-server
Connection: close
...
Connection closed by foreign host.

To keep the connection alive (with httpd as proxy), instead of "Connection: close" send: 

Connection: Keep-Alive

httpd will react to that if KeepAlive is "On", and will keep the connection alive for KeepAliveTimeout seconds.
