Unless something has changed in the recent versions of libUrl (and I can't find 
anything obvious), libUrl will ignore any "Connection: keep-alive" header in 
the response.

By default, it will keep connections open unless there was a "Connection: 
close" header in the response.

Could there be something else going on that is causing the problem?



Cheers
Dave
