Re: [libmicrohttpd] MHD_connection_close API

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi Robert,

I think I understand you goal, and I think you missed the "trick": if
you want to force MHD to close a persistent connection after the current
reply (and the client set keep-alive, it is HTTP/1.1, etc.), what you
should do is explicitly add a "Connection: Close" header to your
response.  MHD will detect that you did this, and will then close the
connection itself.

Alternatively, if you want to hard-close a connection (in violation of
the protocol) at any time, you just need to return "MHD_NO" from the
handler.

Please let me know if this somehow doesn't solve your problem (i.e.
because I didn't understand what you wanted to do).

Happy hacking!

Christian
