Because the connection between nginx and the upstream server is a 
separate connection, and by default nginx isn't going to keep it 
alive.  Keepalive connections to upstream servers can be 
configured as documented here:

http://nginx.org/r/keepalive

The connection between nginx and the backend server is a 
completely separate connection, and it is expected to have it's 
own hop-by-hop headers, see RFC 2616 here:
