Re: [libmicrohttpd] Server side force connection close.

[Christian Grothoff]

If you look at MHD_connection_handle_idle for the case of 
MHD_CONNECTION_FOOTERS_RECEIVED, you will see that MHD tests if you (or 
the browser) added 'Connection: close' and if so, MHD *will* close the 
TCP connection.

So adding a 'Connection: Close' header not only tells the browser to not 
re-use the connection -- MHD will also enforce the protocol in that case.

Please let me know if this is not working for you for any reason.

Happy hacking,

Christian
