That'll be the 'notoriously quirky' HttpUrlConnection will it? Whose
keep-alive support is so well renowned
(http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4325987.html) that
configuring your server to ignore keep-alive requests from that user agent

I am all for keep-alives, but dont want to go near HttpUrlConnection. Use
that and you get burned fast.
