Re: [libmicrohttpd] Server side force connection close.

[Bent Bisballe Nyeng]

Thanks for the reply Christian.

The solution you suggested was exactly the one I tried before posting to
this list.
What confused me was the inconsistency between requests using HTTP/1.1
and HTTP/1.0.
(HTTP/1.0 does not default to persistent connections, whereas HTTP/1.1
does.)
Now that I have sorted that out it seem to work as expected.

May the Source be with you.
