Hi,

I noticed a problem on a few apache servers running on Linux. It appears that 
instead of closing the connection immediately after serving the page when the 
request contains connection:close the web server does not terminate the 
connection for at least 15 seconds.

This can easily be produced with telnet. Simply telnet to a 2.40+ Apache 
server on Linux and request a page like the following example (note host has 
been changed to protect the innocent).

telnet yourdomain.co.uk 80
HEAD /index.php HTTP/1.1
Host: www.yourdomain.co.uk
Connection: close
Cache-Control: no-cache
Accept: */*

On all other servers I have seen and older Apache servers the telnet 
connection is closed immedately after serving the page. For some reason newer 
versions of Apache hang around for up to 15 seconds.

Apologies if this has been reported or is not a bug. I had a good look 
througth the bug database and could find nothing similar and have not been 
able to find any resoultion to the issue either.

I assume this could cause a resource issue on the server and certainly effects 
certain type of client.
