HTTP standard forbids response without "Connection: " line in header.

Is there some link where I can get it? I need this one to document it in my framework that uses MHD.

I saw all headers from popular sites like Google and Facebook, and I didn't see the connection header. :-/ But it isn't a problem, because this sites uses HTTP 2.0, and I don't know if this one needs the connection header.

BTW, it would be nice if the keep-alive/close value in the header could be chosen via some initialization flag, something like this:

daemon =

  MHD_start_daemon(MHD_USE_SELECT_INTERNALLY, PORT, NULL, NULL, &hr, NULL,

  MHD_OPTION_CONNECTION_HEADER, "keep-alive",

  MHD_OPTION_END);

Avoiding to handle it directly in the user callback request. And more:

  (No declaration) -- uses MHD default, that's keep-alive

  MHD_OPTION_CONNECTION_HEADER, "keep-alive", -- set keep-alive

  MHD_OPTION_CONNECTION_HEADER, "close", -- set close

  MHD_OPTION_CONNECTION_HEADER, NULL, -- undeclares Connection header, so the programmer do it by own risk

What do you think? :-)
