Persistent connections are the default in HTTP/1.1, and POSTs are not excepted. Unless connection closure is explicitly negotiated, a HTTP/1.1 server may assume that the connection will continue to be used after a POST (or any other operation). See RFC 2616, section 8.1 for the whole story. For HTTP 1.0, *all* connections are closed after a single transaction, altough the Keep-Alive header may be used to request a persistent connection. The 1.1 spec warns that this approach has its problems. See RFC 2608 and 2616.
