Bug #: 42129
Summary: HTTPS Connection Close for login via API for Commons
Wiki with IE user agent
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When logging in via the commons API https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php
with an IE user agent, the response says "Connection: close" even if
"Connection: Keep-Alive" is set in the request. This behavior is not seen if
the user-agent is set to Firefox.
Steps to replicate:
**IE user agent request**
